Will this thing chew up Wisteria vines? Or any other type of vine?

We used this chipper once and it still sits in the garage. It wouldn't shred anything. The hopper is tiny and you can only put one hansful in at a time. Don't buy this one.

Probably not . . . those vines will probably get wound around the shaft, and you will have to constantly unclog the greenworks machine.

The unit is pretty good at anything that you can fit in the opening. If the vine is too flexible like say a rope it may not work .Nothing I had was a problem.

No, it's useless based on my experience! It'll barely cut a twig. And if something clogs it up, you have to take it apart to be able to try to use it again. That's just my opinion, though. I don't want them to sue me.

Hmm good question. It will probably pick up the leaves and maybe the blossom possibly the pebbles.

I have a ton of acorns worn my oak leaves and they bang around some before falling through. I'm betting they shorten the cord life but don't hurt the machine that I can tell

Hello,Yes I went to their website and found "some" instructions: http://japanesemaplesandevergreens.com/planting-pruning-and-care/Just get it in the ground ASAP. I purchased two of these vines and they are doing fine!

I cut my super strength vines at ground level. When they died and dried out it was easy to pull down with my hands. I used a product to kill roots at the base so they wouldn't grow again.

Honestly, I wouldn't bet on this thing in a zombie apocalypse. Shrubs and vines ok, meat and bone, not likely? not unless you are sharpening and have a home run swing on every swipe lol. For zombies, you'll need a much heavier and longer lasting tool ;)

Clematis are great on this arbor. I believe wisteria would be a little to heavy for this frame.

Yes, I'd guess that it would work for that purpose. The weakest point is probably where the hook attaches to the pole... so make sure you get a strong pole. Once the hook is securely threaded on your pole you'll be ready to do battle with those vines!

Happend with some non moss plants of mine. I got a Venus flytrap and it ate them up!

I used it for wheat grass. The fibre came out absolutely chewed and try. Every drop of juice was extracted. I didn't cut wheatgrass. So the fiber was caught up. I had to pull it out. Next time I used grapes in between. I had no problem with fiber. Since then I have used it for various leaves..works well but I have always used some other fruit or veggie in between leaves. Not a problem for me as I can't drink greens alone. I need a sweet fruit added.

I would not recommend it for shredding ivy vines. Pay more for a shredder that uses a metal cutter instead of nylon string..

It'll do the job, but that's like using a flamethrower to light a candle. I had a similar problem recently and used a small hatchet to cut the vines and a good pair of gloves to pull after that.

IMO def will not, maybe 15-30 min of hard use but it will be slow slow cutting....MAYBE.then it will slow down to the point you just want to smash it on the ground. this product is good if you need to buzz around a fence, or tree. very light duty stuff.

Long grass and vines will wrap around the chipping mechanism. I know from exerience that even ivy wrapped around branches can cause a problem if it isn't bone dry.

Everything I used it on got burned (in pots or in ground), and I'm afraid to use it. It killed 4 roses on me. The ones that didn't die went into shock and got stunted, and now its going to take 2 years to recover from that.

My arbor is supporting the weight of a Pyracantha limb with no problems. As a grape arbor, being covered by the vines, make sure the four corners are well anchored with concrete (as I have).

Look into a product called Certainty. It kills nutsedge with killing zoysia.
