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.
