Any have success growing a Wisteria in midwest?

I love the vine but I read it takes 5 years before it starts to bloom. Then the blooms only last a few weeks.





also, the vine is so large and heavy that you need special support for it.





Now they have cultured a tree from the vine and I was wondering if ......





anyone knows about any of the above?

Yes, a number of these items are true. It can take up to ten years for a wisteria vine to bloom. They do require very stable support- the vine grows to be quite strong, and combined with the large leafy canopy it can be quite a "sail" in strong winds. When pruned it can trigger ultra-happy growth hormones that make it looks like a wild weed-topped canopy. It's the kind of plant that requires a gardener who can take no prisoners if needed, and be patient to be rewarded with staggeringly beautiful and large clusters of blooms in late Spring. And the shade a mature canopy provides can not be equaled (we have a sail-cloth underneath ours so we can sit under it without being rained on by leaves and other things). (We're in Indiana.)
