Petauridae, yes I was referring to the trumpet vine when I mentioned the holdfasts, since the comment was made about my technique of dealing with trumpet vine being brutal.
Petauridae, you said, "One (very deep) container has the bottom cut out and is buried, but that wisteria is a floribunda not sinensis.
Petauridae, as I stated I have never personally dealt with wisteria, but I do know that the roots of the trumpet vine were 3' deep in the soil and as big around as my wrist after all those years.

 Possum - Endangered Raptiles & Creatures - care4nature.org ...
Standing beneath forest giants, such as the Mountain Ash, provides the most reliable method of catching a glimpse of the animals as they emerge at dusk from their family retreat in a hollow branch to feed in the surrounding trees.
The most primitive (and a non-gliding) member of the family Petauridae, it is restricted to moist, high-altitude eucalypt forests where it feeds on wattle or acacia gums, insects and insect exudates.
Gestation in the Petauridae family varies between 12-50 days and birth weight is less than 1g (0.035oz).

Family Petauridae or gliders, Leadbeater's possum, and striped possums
The squirrel glider, also commonly called the "flying possum" locally, Petaurus norfolcensis (family Petauridae), is a gliding marsupial like a larger version of the sugar glider, but it is vary rare in central Cape York Peninsula.
Striped possums are particularly adept at locating and teasing beetle larvae out of dead wood, using their elongated fourth fingers.

The sugar glider or "flying squirrel", Petaurus breviceps (family Petauridae), is a smallish blue-grey to brown-grey marsupial.
It has membranes on each side of the body from the fifth finger to the first toe which it extends to glide from tree to tree.
They usually live in social groups of up to seven adults and vigorously defend their clan territory.

 Evolutionary Biology - Phylogeny of Marsupials based on phosphoglycerate kinase DNA sequences
Two bandicoot sequences in the second lineage have inserts of about 1 kb with high levels of similarity to LINE 1 repeated sequence elements.
The Diprotodontia has a low level of inter-sequence variation in comparison to the other Australian lineages, possibly explaining the failure to separate the members of the Phalangeridae and Petauridae, although this may also be due to the scoring of a pseudogene in one species.
The amount of sequence divergence within the Dasyuromorphia is substantial, presenting a striking contrast to the low variability of the Diprotodontia.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Zoology
The diprotodontian family Petauridae is composed of two subfamilies: Petaurinae (gliders) and Dactylopsilinae (striped possums).
Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) has generally been placed among the petaurines on the basis of morphological, particularly dental, characters.
Resolution of this relationship, assayed by bootstrap analysis, is limited, but branch lengths on the optimal tree suggest a rapid initial diversification of three lineages within the Petauridae: dactylopsilines, petaurines and G. leadbeateri.

To keep from forcefully flying backwards when landing, sugar gliders dig their nails directly into the bark.
Currently, there are seven species of gliders in the family Petauridae.
Sugar gliders have become popular pets in the U.S. Laws vary depending on which state the owner is located in for owning and breeding them.
