About 7 years ago, my japanese maple very suddenly died. We kind of just left it for 2 years. My mom bought me a small wisteria before she passed away 6yrs ago and I decided to let it climb the dead tree. It really flourished. Then 4 days ago the tree fell, uprooting two of the larger wisteria trunks(?) With it, but leaving about 4 medium ones. I went through and unwound the vines and cut away the dead tree but now im left with this mass of wisteria on the ground. Im not sure what to do with what is left of it. Any ideas? I do not want to remove the wisteria as it is sentimental to me.
Pictures dont do it justice. The wisteria is massive, and stretches about 15ft vertically.

You could stake/scaffold it somehow, but you’ll likely have to at least trim it to fit, if not prune it into just a few branches.
You need a trellis of some kind. You can train the wisteria onto the trellis by tying it loosely to the trellis with twine.
