heading back wisteria


Can anyone help me advise a friend about severely cutting back an old wisteria vine? It is at least 30 years old, with a large braid of a trunk. The arbor that it sprawls on needs to be replaced, so I am wondering if it is possible to head back the trunk at the height of the new arbor. Will the wisteria re-sprout out of the trunk? I know they are tough but will it accept this abuse?

 

Thanks for your help.
