Amethyst Falls Wisteria
Comments (1)search the forum- there was a thread this spring about amethyst falls. i ripped out some of the chinese stuff myself last yr after seeing the light as to how invasive it is. mine hadn't bloomed either, and had been in the ground several yrs. from what i've read, that isn't unusual for seed grown wisteria. i bought an am falls last yr, couldn't decide where i wanted it, and it bloomed in the pot again this spring- in the shade even....See MoreWisteria tree vs. Wisteria vine
Comments (52)So glad you finally got some blooms on that wisteria (was it the one that was barren for years?). Not sure what variety mine is (wasn't aware that there were quite a few!) but it has lovely dark blue flowers & heavenly aroma!! I have one I have trained as a tree form (it is about 50 yrs. old), a newer one I trained to grow across the top of the chain link fence. The other tree form was next to a porch post & had grown around & twisted the post so had to cut it down. It was the neighborhood beauty when the top was in full bloom! The cut base now is trying to put out more shoots so we have kept just one to train -away from the post- & let it grow away from the house & up the trunk of a near-by tree!(we may find THAT a mistake later on though?!). Seems wisterias do well with little care... & sometimes with no care at all ... or being ignored! Can be trained to different styles too....See MoreTransplanting wisteria
Comments (0)Hi, I have a friend who recently purchased a neglected property that has a wisteria vine growing through some bushes behind a shed. It only has 1 main stem and it is maybe 2-3 inches in diameter and reaches 20ft into the air along a telephone pole guide wire loaded with blooms. Its also twisting through this bush pretty bad. he has given me permission to take it, Im just wonderin 2 things. A: can I cut the main stem at about 7-10ft tall leaving as many leaves as possible and dig up the root ball to move to my house without killing it. and B: if so will it bloom next year or will I have to wait another 7-10 years before it blooms again?...See Morewisteria needs to be retrained - advice needed
Comments (1)You can cut it to the ground and there's a 99% chance it will grow back from the roots. As for a pergola, do a google.com search, but MAKE SURE the pergola you choose is made of very sturdy metal that is coated, so it doesn't rust - rebar is a good choice if you can afford it....See Morespage1
