It is very heavy and there is not enough room to put a stake next to it.
My wisteria plant has come away from my house and I want to reattach it before the wind snaps it. How can I?
Either put some anchor bolts in your house wall and attach the wisteria to them with string or rope, or put a trellis against the side of the house and weave the wisteria into the trellis.
Reply:put rawlbolts into your house wall and attachwires or cableties get you self down to your local hardware shop
goodluck
should be flowering soon
the normal way to attach wisteria is wires or trellis attached to the house then train the plant
if for some reason you cannot do it
lower the whole plant to
the ground and wait for the wind to drop

Where can I find a wisteria vase lamp ?
It's like a Tiffany style lamp but it looks like a vase and the bulb sits in the bottom. It's a table lamp about 15 to 18 inches in height. I missed out on buying it on ShopNBC.com and I've been searching ever since. Any suggestions?

Check the lamp section at Home Decorators online catalog. They used to carry one like that and if it is not in the catalog, use the contact us email to inquire about it.

What type of fertilizer should I use on my Wisteria? When should I feed?
It's just starting to show hundreds of buds.
What type of fertilizer should I use on my Wisteria? When should I feed?
You probably don't need any fertilizer. Put compost around the plant. You can buy it, or make it from grass clippings, leaves, vegetable waste etc., you just need organic material.
Reply:Wisteria can be notorious for giving loads of green growth and NO flowers if you use fertilizer, or too much.
If you have buds, you're golden. Just water if you're in a drought, add organic matter around the base or mulch, and ENJOY!!!

How long does it take a puppy to get better after POSSIBLY ingesting a wisteria seedpod?
Or at least chewing on one? I have my dog at the vet on an IV pump right now, and they are closed of course, because its midnight. I just figured out this may be what happened to my puppy. He has been throwing up for several days, and cant keep food or water down at all. He was so dehydrated that I thought he was going to die!!! Anyway, any REAL answers would be appreciated. Please don't respond if you are just trying to get points.
How long does it take a puppy to get better after POSSIBLY ingesting a wisteria seedpod?
It is good that you got your puppy to the vet right away. I don't know much about a wisteria seedpod but if you think that this is the reason your puppy has been vomiting, I feel that your vet will take good care of the situation. If they are closed right now, I would call 1st thing in the morning to inform them of what you feel your puppy ingested. Being that your puppy has been vomiting, more than likely whatever he/she ingested is mostly out of his/her system. This is just my opinion. I had an inncident where my dog got into some cleanser and heavy duty rubber gloves. ( The kind you use to wash dishes) He began vomiting and he actually threw up the entire gloves. It was very shocking to see this. I rushed him to the vets and they had him hooked up on IV's for a few days. He got better and I was able to take him home on the 3rd day. I have hope for your puppy and you acted very quickly on this so the outcome should be good. Let us know how your puppy makes out. Good Luck!!!!!!

Does wisteria pollenate itself, or do you have to have a male and female plant?
well I am wanting to plant wisteria yet, i don't want it to take over. So I was wondering if it would be easier to contorl if I only had 1 plant in a pot. but if it pollenates itself then it will spout in other places. if it needs 2 plants then my idea would work, right
Does wisteria pollenate itself, or do you have to have a male and female plant?
Wisteria has to grow to it's mature height of between 15 to 25 feet in order for it even to produce blossoms. Once full grown it produces pods that contain it's seeds; the seeds are very few and are dark brown and flat. The pods/seeds are poisonous if consumed-watch out if you have children. These pods average from between 3 to 6 inches and can be plucked to prevent it from seeding itself. But here again the plant has to grow to it's maturity for this to happen. The plant does need ALOT of sunny %26amp; space to grow.

What could cause half of a wisteria plant to die & the other half live?
there are 2 trunks,but all is wraped around each other, the side that died has pods and the side thats alive does not. It is like it was dryed out. All serviled up and the leaves turned yellow. It has been living in the same place for several years without any problems. One day one trunk died. There are no signs of bugs and no sign of fungus.
What could cause half of a wisteria plant to die %26amp; the other half live?
Did anyone spray any herbicide to kill weeds lately. There could have been spray that drifted on to the plant and killed part of it.
Reply:It is a vine. Did anyone spill anything on it? It is more than certainly a bug, or fungal infestation

New plants need an inch of water per week.
They need to be in a sunny spot to bloom, but don't expect young vines to bloom while their vegetative growth is being established. Wisterias like well-drained acid soil and, once established, don't usually need to be watered unless there's a drought. Don't fertilize after the plant is established (unless shoot and foliage growth and color is not good) because too much nitrogen (or even too much balanced fertilizer) can give you lots of leaves with no flowers. If your plant doesn't bloom, a heavy application of superphosphate (0-20-0) in early spring will help.
You will also need to do some annual pruning to prevent the vine from taking over surrounding plants and structures %26amp; to promote flowering.
This site illustrates how to prune Wisteria:
http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/12...
I never had to do anything to Wisteria in the winter in zone 5 %26amp; this site says this about their hardiness: " there are 3 wisteria growing here in central MN (northern z4) at the local park that have bloomed several times with only minimum dieback in a rather exposed area, and several that bloom at the MN Landscape Arboretum in the Twin Cities. If you can get them from a northern source, they should take zone 4. Just to be on the safe side, I would suggest planting them someplace sheltered."

How do I kill a wisteria vine that has taken over my yard?
The vine has killed trees and we have cut the vines at the tree roots, however it seems to be encouraging new growth and new vines to pop up from the ground. The vines are everywhere along the ground and some are up to 4 inches wide.

What to do with wisteria, so it will bloom i hope next year?
she is in my garden 2 yrs and groving like crazy, but no flowers.
What to do with wisteria, so it will bloom i hope next year?
Wisteria needs regular pruning to control its rampant growth and to encourage flowering. In the North, 2 prunings should suffice. In the South, more frequent pruning- up to 5 or 6 times- in necessary to keep this vine under control.
In summer, prune all long, straggly stems except the ones needed to climb. Also shorten the lateral stems. Cut back by one-third to one-half when pruning.
In late winter, cut back shoots pruned last summer to two or three buds. Cut back any long shoots after last summer's pruning.
Fertilize lightly or not at all. Wisteria may take from 3-7 years to produce the full flowering effect you desire. It also can be trained from a vine into a dwarf tree habit by braiding the new vines together into one large one, although this takes a support cage until the vine "trunk" is strong enough to support itself. Good luck!
Reply:The best thing you can do is be patient!! But after many years mine, well at least one of them and they are side by side, started blooming after we put a patio in next to it and injured its roots. If you have the courage to go around and stick a shovel into its roots to make it think it is going to die, it will send out flowers (flowers = seeds) to make sure the species is carried on. I know this sounds like I am making it up but it is true. However one of mine still doesn't bloom while the other is covered each spring in flowers. I can't do this to the second one because a patio is already there and didn't bloom when we put it in. Go figure!
Reply:Sorry to break it to you, but wisteria can take up to 7 years to grow before it will start blooming. A friend of mine grew up in the South and brought one up here when they moved here. It was HUGE before it ever started blooming. She swears it started blooming right after she said she was going to cut it down if it didn't bloom that year...try that, threaten it. :)

What is the best way to start wisteria from seed?
I know in the wild they lay on top of the soil and root. How do I start them in the house?
What is the best way to start wisteria from seed?
Hello,
With any seed, the longer they have been in storage, the longer they will take to emerge, and the lower the viability--meaning what % will sprout.
That said, you could plant them fresh--meaning plant them as soon as they are ripe in the fall (or whenever), and leave them in the ground or burried pot until next season and see how they do. That is the closest to mother nature's way. Plant several to insure some sprout.
You could cold stratify them yourself. Take dry seed and wrap in damp (barely damp) paper towel. Put in plastic bag, and put in the fridge for 2 months. Check from time to time and change toweling and moisture content if necessary--remove any duds. After this time, you can plant indoors in potting soil. Place the seed belly-button (that spot with the other color where the seed was connected to the pod) face down. Press the seed in this way, but do not cover with lots of soil--merely press in until level with the soil. Some seeds like to be barely covered, but well tucked in, so firm the soil around the seed. Keep moist and be patient. As I recall, mine took a long time to sprout.
Happy Gardening!

How To Cut Wisteria Vine to Root into another plant?
My friend has a wisteria vine that wraps all the way around her front porch and she wants to give me a cutting to start my own plant. Where do we make the cut and how do I take care of the cut? Then once the cut has rooted, when and where do I plant it?
How To Cut Wisteria Vine to Root into another plant?
I can give you some general information-- but specifics need to come from a google.
Take the cutting on "new" growth-- usually is green and very flexible. Remove all but the top leaves, dip in rooting hormone powder and stick in the ground -- or a pot with potting soil. I would do several cuttings-- with maybe three in one pot-- and another pot of three. Wet the potting soil or ground before sticking the cutting into it. Place the pots where you'll see them several times a day-- to watch for problems. I wouldn't place the cuttings in the sun at this point. Wait-- I'm guessing a week while watching the cuttings-- they should perk up after a few days-- don't forget moisture but gently. If they perk up-- that is a real possible rooting-- wait some more-- like at least 2 weeks-- take up a perked up cutting-- not the best looking-- and check for roots. If the roots are there-- plant that one outside in full sun and keep watching over your "baby". -- and give the other cuttings a little more time to put out roots.
When you have rooted enough cuttings-- plant them outside in different places-- and keep the strongest-- move it before cold weather- about 8 weeks ahead-- by using a shovel and pushing straight down in a circle around the main stem-- about 8 inches from the stem--then leave it alone for a couple weeks-- what you're doing is cutting longer roots and making the plant put out new feeder roots-- After 2 weeks-- prepare the place the cutting will be living-- and lift the cutting using the shovel marks for size -- lump of dirt and all.-- keep watch over your baby-- don't forget water in the winter months- dryness kills more plants than you can guess.
Good luck-=- it's a tough plant-- just need to baby it in the beginning.

Can I grow chinese wisteria in a container?
I want to train it on a deck pergola which is many feet off the ground.
Can I grow chinese wisteria in a container?
Not unless it is a VERY large container. Wisteria can grow very large and needs to be well anchored. However, just because your pergola is many feet off the ground doesn't mean that you can't grow wisteria on it. You could plant it in the ground and then "train" the plant (by staking) until it gets up to the pergola. You would do this by cutting off the side shoots until the top part gets up to the pergola. Once it get to the pergola, then you can train it over the wood.
However, make sure that you have a VERY sturdy pergola. Wisteria gets very heavy, even if you trim/thin it every year.
Good Luck!!

Yah, sometimes they are a little slow at blooming. You need to root prune the thing. Get a shovel and make a circle all around the plant to cut the roots (look it up on the web) about a foot out from the trunk of the plant. You can also apply super phosphate.

Reply:The first year it sleeps, the second year it creeps, the third year it leaps. It might still be in the growing stage and not yet ready to bloom. Wisteria and other vines often spend their first few years putting all their energy into growing deep roots before they flower.
Have you fertilized it at all? You might want to try fertilizing it this year with a balanced (15-15-15) fertilizer for all around growth, and fertilizing it next spring at the first sign of leafing with a fertilizer designed for flower blooms.
Give it time to grow up and out. It may be in the juvenile stage for a little longer, but it may surprise you.
Good luck.

It depends on what kind it is. Most wisteria needs to be pruned aggressively yearly since they are such fast growers. I have included some sites that you may find helpful. I have not pruned mine since I just planted it last summer. I can't wait til it blooms. Good luck with it.

What do you think of water wisteria?
I have a ten gallon divided tank with two male bettas. One is a red dalmation and one is a white and purple marble. Does anyone else think water wisteria is a good choice for a back ground plant in this case? I've got java moss and fern, amazon sword, crypts, and apon bulbs. My lighting is 2 wpg.
What do you think of water wisteria?
Wisteria is beautiful, although I've found sometimes it 'melts' in higher alkalinity situations, so watch our for that! It also has a secondary form when it's floating rather than planted that is kind of neat. It'll look like it's just about dead, then suddenly start growing well for you. (much like amazon swords that are grown emerged often do when you start growing them submerged).
I LOVE elodea (AKA egeria densa)...beautiful, green, and lush, grows so easily, and chows down the nitrates in the tank. Just be cautious getting rid of overgrowth on either. Both wisteria and elodea are 'pest' species of plant, and need to be thrown away, not put into the plumbing in any way. I try to make sure mine is completely dead before I toss it...I've seen horror stories of water ways near dumps getting clogged with. I think it's most likely extreme and untrue, but, hey, better safe than sorry!!!
Reply:it s allur creativity just look after that does`nt ends up in some other disaster so no prob buddy ....... carry on with ur work mr.dexter .......all the best
Reply:Yes if you have sufficient room so they can get enought light than it would be a good addition to your planted tank
Reply:It's beautiful and would make a great addition to your tank
it's also very hardy as well

Does anyone have a tropical wisteria?
I'm in Florida, bought a 'tropical wisteria' which is supposed to be a native plant. It looked very healthy when I bought it, but since planting it, (approx 6 weeks ago) the leaves are withering and going brittle and in some cases, they are completely brown. There is no new growth on it at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with the soil because other plants around it are doing just fine. It can't be lack of water because it has rained pretty much every day here, and when it hasn't, I've watered it. It gets full sun in the morning, filtered sun in the afternoon. Help, please!
Does anyone have a tropical wisteria?
Tropical Wisteria (Miletta reticulata) is a tender perennial winter hardy to Zone 8. It requires full sun to part shade in well drained, fertile soil %26amp; Needs sturdy climbing support as it develops very woody vines that can become extremely heavy. It needs well drained soil, so if you have been getting a lot of rain %26amp; the soil isn't draining, that could be the problem
During growing season water frequently and fertilize with a water based fertilizer at least every 2 weeks.

How do I take cuttings from a very mature wisteria? in uk?
the wisteria is very prolifically flowering and it must be done this week.( selling the house) .what time of the day is best ?? can it even be done ??
How do I take cuttings from a very mature wisteria? in uk?
Cut it now, and get LOTS of cuts. Make sure each cut has at least 2 leafs.
Out root stimulator powder on the cut, then put this into moist potting soil. Keep the soil moist, not wet.
My question is why do you want a cutting? Get a new 5 gallon plant for less than $25.
Reply:i am so pleased you are selling that horrible house !!! what are you going to go for ? something modern i hope, i noticed you tried to scrounge a makeover for the house was that to help sell it?

Can you take a start off of a wisteria?
I'm moving and want to bring my wisteria with me, can anyone give me simple, step by step instructions on how to do this. They are very mature so I cannot transplant them.
Can you take a start off of a wisteria?
Take cuttings
Strip lower leaves (so they don't come in contact with water and rot)
Plunk in a clear container of water
Rooting hormone is not necessary
You'll see roots in 7 - 10 days . . . pot or plant in the ground
Reply:The vines you purchase have usually been grafted, layered or taken from cuttings. So if you want to start additional vines from your own plant, layering the lower side shoots is the best procedure to follow. Do this in the spring. Actually lower growing vines will often come into contact with the soil and root on their own. Simply cut those rooted vines away from the mother plant and you have a new vine. Best time to do this is in springtime.
A 12 to 18 inch tip of the vine can also often be started in water alone. If you add a little rooting hormone to the water, it may help speed up the rooting process. Smaller cuttings 6 to 9 inches long can also be started in soil. Whether you do it in soil or water, the best time is to take these cuttings in the late winter, just before the new growth starts.
New vines can also be started from seed, but seedlings are slow to flower. It may take 8 to 10 years for the first blooms to appear.
Reply:Yes, you can take cuttings.

Is it possible to rent a house on wisteria lane?
i researched and wisteria lane from desperate housewives is a real street Colonial St. behind Orlando Studios. Because it is a real street in a real neighborhood do you think it is possible to rent a house on it or close to it?
Is it possible to rent a house on wisteria lane?
No, because that's where they film the show. Maybe close to it though.
Reply:Wisteria Lane is actually in the Universal Studios in Hollywood, the streets actual name is Colonial Street because it's been used for many other shows. They're just houses to film in, so I'm pretty sure you can't purchase one of them, and I don't think there are any houses nearby.

Keys to growing wisteria?
How long does Wisteria keep its purple flowers? How best to keep it manageable?
only for a month or so, if you want to control it and make a feature, grow it as a standard, these are fantastic, start when the bush is young, tie the branches together or if you can plait or twist them together around a stake. keep doing this till they are at a manageable height, i.e. your shoulders, then let them branch out and fall. trim them severly after flowering
Reply:Not nearly long enough! I love them. A few weeks, if I remember correctly. You need to prune them after blooming. Check the site below for gardening tips about them.

When is the best time to dig up and move a large wisteria.?
I have had this for about ten tears and it has never bloomed. I bought a trellis and want to move the wisteria to the trellis and hope it blooms in the new location. Live in New England.
When is the best time to dig up and move a large wisteria.?
When it's dormant (dead looking).
My Wisteria bloomed the 1st year I had it. Put lots of compost in the hole. The more compost (means a bigger hole) the better. Don't know what type of soil you have, but the outter edges of the hole should have compost mixed w/ the native dirt. That way the plant doesn't sense a sudden change from this wonderful fluffy stuff that tastes so good, to that nasty native stuff. It would stay in the compost, like it's in a pot %26amp; not do very well.
Reply:In the dark of night when the neighbors can't see you stealing it. That's when I get some of my best plants.
Reply:spring, so that it will have time to root itself before the harsher weathers or summer and winter.
Reply:some wisteria will not bloom for 15 years so if you move it now it will take several more years to bloom.
Is it to where you can place the trellis where the plant is now? That would be a better option.
Reply:im not really sure of the correct answer but never give up. maybe you can give it a little more tlc. get some plant food for flowering plants and try that. they like alot of water as well.good luck to ya. thats one of my favorite plants. they are beautiful.

I have a starter from a Wisteria plant. Will it survive in a half barrel?
I have a 6 ft. T-shaped metal pole (it used to be for a clothes line). I would like to place a wine barrel half beneath it and plant the small wisteria starter (which looks like a small tree) in it. Is it possible for it to survive, climb that pole and continually live in that environment?
I have a starter from a Wisteria plant. Will it survive in a half barrel?
The answer to all of your questions is yes, and don't forget to fertilize each year with a good fertilizer. Osmocote 14-14-14, for example. Bettyboop is right about the mature size of the plant. I once saw one that had been let go for a few years, and the vines were a good three inches in diameter. It was planted against the woman's house and had grown under her slate shingles and ripped the trim off of the house. Never put it near a structure, unless you plan to prune it back to a height of four feet every late winter before it begins growing again. An arbor decor is best.
Reply:Do you have any idea how very big a wisteria vine gets? You will deifinitely have to trim it back every year to keep it small. Why don't you put it where you can really enjoy it, and watch it run? And it may depend on what is in the half barrel.. You got some GOOOOD mulch and dirt in there? As for the climate, I don't know where you are, but where I am, the cold kills most plants. But I think the wisteria , being a perrenial, will grow back every year. I don't think you CAN kill it, because it will literally TAKE OVER stuff. ALSO, You have to get that starter started. I had one and I eventually killed it from not keeping it wet enough to root. OK, bye.
Reply:it should........mine is in similiar container and looks and grows fab.........4 yr old

I have planted a wisteria this year but am very inpatiant please help!
What is the best way to get a wisteria to flower early?
My wisteria is bush form and we always prune it and it flowers every year.
Reply:Best to let it sit in the full sun @ least 6 hours of the day. Water throughly and make sure the acid ph ranges from 6.0 to 7.0.LOL
Reply:I planted mine 11 year ago and it still has not bloomed. Some research has said it can take 12 years. My wisteria is in a tree form and not a vine. Good luck!!
Reply:There is no way.
wisteria will not bloom until the plant is atleast 7 years old. They do not bloom until they have matured. After that they will bloom every year. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes longer than 7 years for them to mature depending on the conditions.
So, depending on how old your Wisteria is, you will have to wait for up to 7 years for it to bloom.
If it is a mature plant that you got, it will bloom next year. It is too late for this year - Wisteria bloom in early spring, about the same time as Daffodils and Tulips.
Sorry for the bad news, but trying to get a Wisteria to bloom early is exactly the same as tryign to get an animal to reach sexual maturity early, you just cant do it.

What is the name of the dwarf tree whose branches grow in a dome like fashion? Also is Wisteria good to grow?
You can find this tree in the Mid Eastern States and into Ontario, and probably a lot of other areas. And what kind of Wisteria can we grow in these areas?
What is the name of the dwarf tree whose branches grow in a dome like fashion? Also is Wisteria good to grow?
You almost certainly mean weeping mulberry. Only grows to something less than 2 meters and its branches droop right to the ground. This is a cultivar of a mutation, sometimes grafted onto more normal mulberry stock. Like most "weeping" varieties of trees, they grow this way because of unusual genetic traits; they are not "trained".
Wisteria is a truly beautiful hardy vine, a little sensitive to extreme cold. But seems to do well in the Eastern/Mid Eastern States and Southern Ontario. It does need to be trained onto the trellis or structure you wish it to grow on, and in tropical or subtropical climates it can get a bit out of hand.
Reply:I think Laura has been reading to much of 'Day of the Triffids'. Wisteria is a very beautiful vine that grows up to 9 metres, depending on the variety, so I don't think you will be needing that 25 acres just yet. The Wisteria floribunda varieties seem to have the best named varieties and I have W.F. Macrobotrys which has flower racemes up to 3ft long and perfumed. Suitable temps according to my books of down to minus 20 deg F. Suitable for zones 5-10.
The domed trees do sound like weeping trees with their lower branches pruned level, or could be something like a weeping willow.
Reply:I don't know about Wisteria, but perhaps the tree you are thinking of is an umbrella tree also known as Catalpa.
Reply:I have a Japanese maple in my garden and it domes all by its self. it is a small tree that grows slowly also. Mine hangs over my koi pond and provides them shade on those sunny days
Reply:Siberian pea shrub also grows like a dome. It gets to be about 6 feet tall and it's hardy here in Maine, so it would be good in Ontario, I think.
Reply:I love wisteria. It isn't a tree, however. You can train it to grow, and if you keep it trimmed - it's quite lovely.
It is a parasitic vine - so you don't want to let it get to your trees.

Reply:Japanese maple? Weeping Cherry? Could be anything. Need more info.
I would not recommend Wisteria unless it is Wisteria frutescens, which is the wisteria that is native to the US. You didn't mention where you live. But other wisterias are native to China, and they can be highly invasive and displace native plants. They are hard to get rid of if you change your mind. And they grow so aggressively that they will break a trellis, and one actually snapped a small lilac tree I had in my yard. We dug one up and named it "rootzilla." Nuf said.
Reply:Wisteria = BAD. Unless you have 25 acres or more. Wisteria is the most care dependent tree on earth. A family in the Los Angeles area had to buy three surrounding neighbors homes and use their lots just for their wisteria tree overhanging branches to continue to grow. Forget it unless you are a workaholic with no other work to do.
Any dwarf free that branches grow in a dome is trained that way. They don't just "come" in a dome believe me.

How do I kill a wisteria vine in california?
I ave a wisteria vine growing in central Ca and it just wont die! any sggestions?
How do I kill a wisteria vine in california?
I'd recommend a craigs-list ad, as mature Wisterias are highly sought after, as the younger ones take a few seasons to settle in and flower well. Otherwise, if you're close-ish to San Francisco, I know a landscaper who may take it from you.
Otherwise, keep hacking it or dig it from the roots and it will die (though really sad!).
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:Well... I'm not sure, really.. But if I lived in Cali, i'd offer to come dig it up for ya, and plant it in my yard! lol =P Maybe you could put an add in a local paper "Free Wisteria vine, you dig"... You will get calls! =)
Reply:If you can't get it to die by like not watering it and don't want to put chemicals on it, just dig the thing up and throw it in the trash:)

How do I kill a wisteria vine in california?
I'd recommend a craigs-list ad, as mature Wisterias are highly sought after, as the younger ones take a few seasons to settle in and flower well. Otherwise, if you're close-ish to San Francisco, I know a landscaper who may take it from you.
Otherwise, keep hacking it or dig it from the roots and it will die (though really sad!).
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:Well... I'm not sure, really.. But if I lived in Cali, i'd offer to come dig it up for ya, and plant it in my yard! lol =P Maybe you could put an add in a local paper "Free Wisteria vine, you dig"... You will get calls! =)
Reply:If you can't get it to die by like not watering it and don't want to put chemicals on it, just dig the thing up and throw it in the trash:)

Where can i buy the wisteria ?
I would like to buy the wisteria plant I live in maryland and just want to buy the plant for my mother it grows wildly down here but i can get to the plant to get it. The best other option i know of is to buy it. Any help would be greatly appericated for my mother. THank you.
Where can i buy the wisteria ?
I have some chinese Wisteria I purchased from a catalog. It was affordable but it will take a few years to bloom. I tried my local nurseries with no luck until I was lucky enough to have to owner helping me one day. He told me the reason he will not carry it is due to the toxicity of the plant. All of the plant is extremely poisonous and deadly to animals, children and those with weakened immune systems. Even handling a seed, leaf, or piece of the bark is loaded with toxins. More so than the Oleander.
Reply:Contact yor local nursery and tell them what you want. If they don't have wisteria they will know where to get you one. Best of Luck to you. Your a good child to be so good to your mom.

My Wisteria is looking weedy and pathetic , what can i do to boost its growth please ?
I just moved into the house so I dont know the age of the Wisteria but it looks mature enough but it hasn't produced much flower and it just looks a bit scraggy :o( When should it be cut back and how ?
My Wisteria is looking weedy and pathetic , what can i do to boost its growth please ?
Prune it back after flowering (April/May) taking all the long traily bits, and prune again hard in late September. Starting now, give it blood, fish and bone meal as this not only promotes good leaf growth, but strengthens the roots and will help it flower better next year. Be patient- it's worth it!!
Reply:Watering: The wisteria needs lots of water during the growing season. In summer, after flowering, place the pot in a tray of water so that the plant can soak up as much water as it needs. Do not allow the water to stagnate. Water heavily before and during flowering.
Feeding: In general, wisteria need more fertilizer than most bonsai. However, in order to ensure good flowering, feeding should be minimized during and immediately following flowering. Fertilize heavily in spring before flowering and in late summer and autumn, until the leaves drop.
For organic and slow-acting fertilizers, feed double the usual strength for bonsai, applying fertilizer at the recommended intervals. For chemical fertilizer, you can either use it full strength every other week or you can use it at half strength every week.
The dry racemes should be cut off, leaving 2-3 shoots at the base of the raceme. At the same time, pinch back the tender tips of these shoots. After this pruning, many tendrils will emerge. These tendrils grow rapidly, as much as an inch each day. The tender tips of these shoots should be pinched back as soon as they have 4-5 sets of leaves. Do not remove the new shoots until the end of August, otherwise the plant may set new flower buds and bloom again that summer, which will weaken the blooms the following spring. After August, completely remove any shoots that are not going to be used as branches. The wisteria sets blooms on the short lateral shoots rather than on the tips of the growing shoots, so removing the tips will not endanger the following spring's bloom.
If you want a good bloom in the spring, remove any seed

Reply:prune it after its flowered, and then again in late winter, beware of products like miracle grow as they just produce fleshy growth that is then likely to get diseased, instead just mulch the roots with manure or compost. its probably quite healthy but just hasnt been pruned in years, if you prune it this year all the new growth will have flowers next year. happy gardening!

The correct answer is "The type of wisteria you have determines how easily the wisteria cutting will root."

The Japanese variety we had at my mother's house was very prolific and easy to propagate. It took over quickly. I bought another variety from Home Depot and cuttings didn't want to root without some encouragement from rooting hormone.
Reply:You can, but like everyone else said, it is fickle and depends upon the variety. Try looking at the Southern Living Gardening section. There are several, some easier than most. You'll be able to find out which works best for your climate, and how "under control" it will be. Good luck.

What's the most successful way to propagate Wisteria?
I live in zone 7 and there's Wisteria growing all over down here and I'd really like to encourage some to grow on a very large oak tree in my back yard. I'd like to take a cutting from elsewhere in my neighborhood. How do I do this?
What's the most successful way to propagate Wisteria?
It is going to take a while to get the cuttings to root. They need sun so under the oak is not the best place. They can be trained into a tree form, but technically they are called a liana or woody stemmed vine. The mature wood cutting is probably going to be the easiest for you, softwood cuttings require mist. Use some rooting hormone powder and put some cuttings about 6 inches long or so and put them in a one gallon container. Be patient. Don't let it dry out or get stay too wet.
Reply:We have ALOT wisteria along our side fence. Wisteria propogates by seed. And right when the temperature hits 70 degrees F, their seed pods burst open scattering the seeds. The seed pods look like giant, brown been pods hanging down from last years vines... You can't miss em. What I would do is get about ten pods or so crack em open and plant the seeds 1 inch deep wherever you want them. They grow very fast and you might even get flowers on them in your zone this year. The seeds are very hard and need alot of water at first to get them to germinate. In your zone, you should plant now.

Do you plant wisteria seeds in the ground? Or do you start them indoors first?
I have some wisteria seeds growing indoors in planters and I wondered if that was ok or do they need to be planted outside to begin with.
Do you plant wisteria seeds in the ground? Or do you start them indoors first?
No, starting them indoors is the best way to get them started.
Reply:Wisteria will grow anywhere!! I have new (volunteer) plants coming up all over my yard!
If you have started them inside, that is OK. However, I would get them outside and planted in the ground as soon as possible. You want them to be well established before winter comes. Don't give them any fertilizer (they don't need it!!).
Be sure that you plant them next to a VERY sturdy trellis or structure. Wisteria gets REALLY heavy.
Good Luck!!

How do I get paint off the Wisteria?
Last summer I started working at someone's house for a variety of projects. One was to paint the fence outside. The guy before me put on the primer and alot of the top coat, but what he did as well was paint everything around the fence, including the wisteria which is climbing on most of it. The leaves are gone now thanks to mother nature, but the vines still have a great deal of paint left on them.
What's a guy to do (If anything)? I hope there's something. Thanks.
How do I get paint off the Wisteria?
Wisteria vine is a very vigorous grower...not much can hurt it. If you are worried about the vine's health because of the paint...I wouldn't worry. On the other hand, If you don't like the look of it, I would prune out whatever can possibly be pruned out. I wouldn't power wash it as this CAN harm the plant...you might as well just cut it out to begin with. If it was mine, I'd just prune as much as I could and then leave the rest. Don't you worry...it'll grow back!!!

Does anyone know how to get a wisteria vine to bloom?
This vine has been coming back for about seven years and has not produced one bloom. Someone told me that you need two wisteria plants together to produce blooms. I need some advice - help me please, or I will have to get rid of it and try again. Thanks.

Wisterias are heavey feeders Mine bloomed the second year and is about to bloom again any day now. I use rabbit poop and Miracle-Gro Shake n feed. And water often. Oh and I only have one.
Reply:Wisterias are notorious for not blooming if they receive too much nitrogen in their fertilizer, even though they grow madly. If your wisteria is near a fertilized lawn, it's probably receiving too much nitrogen.
Wisterias also need a slightly acidic soil; try using a fertilizer such as Mir-acid (same company that makes Miracle-Gro) on the plant.
Reply:My husband swears by Miracle Gro...puts it on every few weeks with the hose sprayer. My wisteria go very big, but took years to bloom. Don't give up!

How to care for my new Wisteria?
I just bought a Wisteria which I woulld prefer to grow in a pot for the time being and maybe even for a year or two. It is about 6 feet tall at the moment and in bloom. Should I repot it? The pot I purchased it in is about 9" across and 10" tall.
It is supported by bamboo at the moment -do I need further support yet?
How much do I water and do I feed it?
I have heard that if you are not careful, it will not always bloom. When is the blooming season?
Thanks for any info!
How to care for my new Wisteria?
You can keep wisteria pruned to a size suitable for a shrub and so keep it in a pot on a permanent basis but you're going to need to put it in a bigger pot than it's in now. I would suggest a pot at least 60cm wide if you're keeping it as a small/medium sized shrub. If you want to grow it as a climber you're going to have to have a much bigger pot than that and I think you'll struggle to keep it going long term as a climber in a pot because, left to their own devices, wisterias can become enormous, covering the whole of the front of a house over a period of years. If that is what you're intending to do, there isn't going to be a pot big enough. In the UK it should be flowering any time now. It will only flower once a year. It's an outdoor plant and isn't suitable for keeping indoors for any length of time.
You'll notice that from now onwards it will produce long whippy stems. Unless you want to keep them to form part of the structure of the plant, cut them down to about 30cm in length in July. Next February reduce them again to around 2 or 3 buds from where they originated on the plant.
Encourage it to flower by giving regular food from April to August. I give mine slow release food in April and then occasional feeds of liquid seaweed and general purpose food (such as MiracleGro) every three or four weeks throughout the summer.
It will need a considerable amount of water; don't let it dry out in the summer or it will lose its leaves very quickly.
Reply:you defiantly need a larger pot. i found out i had to abuse the roots once in a while to keep it blooming out side. in the house? sun sun sun!!! humidifier.sit it in a saucer of stones with water. it will bloom every three months in the house. water when dry.follow the directions on fertilizer container .

Prune it down to about 1 foot tall, you need to put it in the ground, wisteria is a terrific climber and needs a pergola (very sturdy support) to climb up so you can enjoy the beautiful blooms in spring.

What would happen if, off and on in a couple of days, a dog were to play fetch with and chew on for a little bit a wisteria pods (that are toxic). The dog seems perfectly fine days after, but I don't know how long it takes for the symptoms to kick in. I don't think the dog acually ate the pods, just left teethmarks.

What is the easiest way to grow wisteria from a cutting?
I have tried twice to grow wisteria from a clipping and both times they have died.
I tried using root growth stuff and I tried extra fertilizer. what am I not doing right?
What is the easiest way to grow wisteria from a cutting?
The best way is to make a cut in the vine but leave it attached to its original vine. Then put that into dirt. Roots will grow where you have sliced the vine. At that point, sever from the original wisteria and you have another plant.
Reply:Sorry I'm not too sure, maybe it would be more effective to get the seeds, I planted some and they are starting to grow. You could also save yourself time and buy on EBAY

When and for how long does a wisteria vine bloom?
I am trhinking of getting a wisteria vine. does anyone know when and for how long it blooms? I'd like to get one that blooms in mid to later summer for as long as possible.
When and for how long does a wisteria vine bloom?
The two most common types of wisteria, Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) and Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda), bloom around mid May in most years. I don't think you can depend on them for late summer flowers, although they have attractive foliage.
Also note that it may take many years for a small plant to begin blooming.
These are big and heavy vines, and are best supported on wires, trellises, arbors or pergolas. They prefer full sun, reasonably moist soil that is neutral to slightly acid soil (pH of 6.0-7.0 for best results).
Here are some sites that provide detailed information:

Reply:Sadly, they only bloom for a few weeks but smell heavenly. I bought one last year after the blooming season and it bloomed for me this spring. They don't bloom in the summer or fall.
There is a house down the street that has trimmed their wisteria into a tree. It must have been growing there for a long time. Soooo, that is what I am going to do to mine. Just keeping cutting those little wisps of vines off until the fall.
Good luck.
Reply:Wisteria vine is a VERY fast growing vine. It will take over a small area, and is a major pain to keep under control. The spring blooms are awesome, but are short lived, then you are left to maintain this vine on steroids until next spring. I suggest you research some other vines.

When and how should I transplant wisteria and/or blueberry plants?

How do you kill a wisteria vine?
We bought a house and the wisteria is just about to take over! It has never been cut back and the vines are a huge twisted network. Any ideas?
How do you kill a wisteria vine?
Oh My! You really don't want to kill it. Just cut it back and keep it under control. It will be a beautiful plant with fantastic spring blooms. With just a little care it will increase the value of your house, and no problem.
Reply:Yes, drill holes at ground level or a little above in all the trunks. Pour in undiluted Glyphosate (better known as Roundup) Glyphosate is a systemic poison and will be taken into the system of the plant and kill it. Remember though, it is poison to ALL plants so use with care.
Reply:Try a product called Round Up.It will kill anything in it's path.Be sure not to get it on anything that you don't want to kill.Good luck
Reply:I don't think you can. I keep pulling them and spraying them every year, even tilled soil to 8" and come back anyhow.
Reply:It would be a shame to destroy it - but if you have to, cut it at ground level, it will die, then rip it off the wall.
**It'll give you great fire wood for the winter !
Reply:Have you thought about possibly building something for it to start growing over and around? I have some friends who have a nice swing outside with kind of a "porch/awning" effect going on that they built for it to grow over....when it is in bloom it is awesome to sit in the swing and relax...just an idea
Reply:My father spent years trying to get rid of one in our backyard when I was growing up. He finally gave up fighting and cut it down to a tiny stump and turned a metal bucket upside down over it. It still sprouted leaves with the bucket over it.
Good luck!
(They are so beautiful, aren't they, when they're in bloom?! But they'll choke the life out of trees if they're allowed to grow and wrap around them indiscriminately.)
Reply:Did you just move to Wisteria Lane? Are you a desperate housewife? Okay I'm j/k about that.
The only thing I know to do is get rid of all the roots which would take a lot of work!

Does a wisteria vine kill a tree?
We bought a house in Decenber and in the front yard is a hugh white oak tree that is about 4-5 foot in diameter. The wisteria vine is about 2 ft in diameter at the base. I noticed there are several limbs that are broken off way up in the tree. My husband wants to cut the wisteria cause he says it's killing the tree. The wisteria is beautiful and adds lots of color to the yard and I don't want to cut it but if it's killing that beautiful tree, the vine needs to go. Does anyone know of a website I can go to for information about wisterias?
Does a wisteria vine kill a tree?
Sometimes you see in garden magazines, not to plant wisterias on trees, and I'm sure its because they can strangle them if wrapped round too tight.
Wisterias are tough if you chop it off at the base I'm sure it would grow shoots and you could redirect them onto some type of pergola. As your wisteria has such large root at this stage it should regrow quite quickly.
Reply:I don't know of website other than pick a good gardening magazine's site, However I do know that it is the weight of the wisteria that breaks branches, so pruning it and pruning it hard (it is recommended) will let you have the best of both. Enjoy your new yard and home

Can you grow Wisteria from a seed pod?
This summer was the first year my Wisteria Vine bloomed. Now we have what looks like 2 seed pods hanging from the vine. Does anyone know if you can grow another vine from that pod of seeds? I haven't pulled it off or tried to open it up. Any suggestion?
Can you grow Wisteria from a seed pod?
I've grown wisteria from seed. Very easy. Poke the seeds into some good seed-starting potting soil and then lightly cover with soil. Keep moist but not soggy. I like to put a little sprinkling of milled sphagnum moss on top of the soil to cut down on fungus and mold. Place your pot inside a plastic baggie and seal. Germination usually occurs within 2-3 weeks. When the seedlings come up, take the pot out of the bag and make sure it gets plenty of sunlight and not allowed to dry out. After the seedlings have a set of true leaves, prick them gently out of the pot and pot up separately. Put the pot outdoors (when no danger of frost) and put them in a place that is protected from direct sunlight and extremes of weather, wind, rain, etc. for about 2 weeks. After that, they will have completed their acclimitization and can be planted directly in the desired spot as long as you have at least 45 days before the first frost. I hope this helps.
Reply:Although you can grow wisteria from seed it can take several years before the plant will bloom. Report It
Reply:yes but it is easier to propagate from a cutting
Reply:Sure. Plunk em in dirt in a 4 inch pot, water, put pot in a ziplock (clear) plastic bag, all to a south window and watch the fun happen! You can also root cuttings in clear containers of water in a sunny window....even at this time of year.
Have fun!

Wisteria?????
Does anyone know how much wisteria is worth and who would be looking to buy some. we cut down a large piece of it and its growing back like wildfire. if you are interested in buying let me know. we will let it go at a fair price. all fresh new vinelets.
Wisteria?????
That's what wisteria does! You cut it back and it just comes back!
A lot of garden centers and mail order catalogs sell wisteria, so you are going to have some competition trying to sell it.
It is beautiful, but unless you are going into the nursery business, I wouldn't try selling it.
Reply:Wisteria is beautiful but worthless. Most people can't even give it away.
Reply:Wisteria grows in the wild, so it's worthless. Try getting a job if you want to make some money.
