What is the best way to get a wisteria to flower early?

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.
