I have a large Chinese wisteria that blooms regularly every year. However, it has a couple of nasty wounds dating from its days in my neighbors yard. I have finally accepted that these will never heal over, at least in my lifetime. It also has some ugly roots. So I am considering air layering it above the the uppermost wound which will still give me a decent trunk without the wounds and nasty roots. My question is how well do these air layer? Second, assuming I do succeed in getting a new root system, how will doing this affect the flowering? I mean will losing the old root system essentially reset it and mean I have to wait another 10 years for it to start flowering again? Here is a photo of it for reference.
