Wisteria cuttings, how to grow?

I found this beautiful westeria growing along side the road, it has climbed all up and around tele poles and trees, just gorgeous, I broke a couple pieces off the branches and stuck them in water to see if they will root, I found some info on line but not much help on , will they root, should they be cut off at a certain leaf or noad? anyone know? and how long will it take, I read that some have luck with the seed pods growing faster but it takes years before they get flowers.

Wisteria cuttings, how to grow?
I had one of those things in my yard for years. It was a nightmare to keep trimmed. As for clippings you can simply stick them into moist ground and they will grow.


Beware... that thing will kill other plants/trees, knock over fences, loosen the siding on your house, and make mowing your yard a horrible mess!


I wouldn't recommend that plant to anyone!


It puts runners in the ground that will spring up 30-40 feet away and climb trees. You have to watch for runners continuously. They will get out of hand in a hurry!
Reply:What chuck said is true.. but I love them too.. and smell good as well..


I have one.. it is planted in the shade.. not around anything else.. it will grow.. then get a tomato cage place in around it. and it will grow on to it..


it will get larger threw the years.. mine never sprouted anywhere else..


try to keep just one main vain coming out of the ground.. mow close to it..


I never had good luck with the pods..


just have fun.. u can always dig it up before it gets out of control..


good luck
Reply:It sounds like you found some wild wisteria which is fairly easy to grow from a cutting. The wild form of this plant is very invasive and will spread anywhere and everywhere. You can buy the 'tame' version of this plant which is less invasive and has larger flowers. Good luck.
