i would like to find some wisteria trees. any type will do.but only outside trees. i dont have anything to trade but can pay postage.

Thyme...those are beautiful. But the thought if their having a pungent odor will keep me from planting a more manageable wisteria. We have decided to go with tree form...only because my husband said...if I have patience with bonsai...surely I can manage a wisteria tree. My bonsai wisteria is no trouble at all...and it's basically miniature form. I do though...see quite a handful if I go with the vine tree form that is meant to climb something. For it was twisted and needs support to stand upright. Which I had contemplated our gazebo. Reading the link that was attached I did see where the tree was mentioned to be more manageable by a few posters. When it is upright and not allowed to climb over something. For a second...I thought I had a winner...with zone 5 and a manageable vine. Until I read it is quite unpleasant to smell. And it is to close to outdoor living spaces. I appreciate the heads up though on that.

Depends. Some deer won't eat wisteria. Some will. At our new home, we have a wisteria vine that is big and healthy, yet the deer love to nibble on the fresh tips of new growth. But my wisteria is so large and healthy that I actually appreciate when they do, as my wisteria is growing out of control. Hahaha. If your wisteria can handle a little nibbling, you may want to try unwrapping the wire protection for a day to see how it goes. If it is too small, then maybe wait until it is healthier and larger when it can take deer nibbles easier. Good luck!

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.
