Good to see the wisterias coming along Sid there not easy to germinate I believe so well done, I have a small bonsai one which I have had for quite a few years but has not flowered yet, years ago I planted one for my wife’s mother who came to live with us, it took 7 years to flower in fact it flowered the year she died in hospital so never got to see it. When we moved house I bought one that they said was guaranteed to flower and boy did it flower, twice a year the trunk was massive, it was grown on another root stock not sure what, the roots started to lift the flag stones in the garden which was a problem. When I sold up after my wife passed away there were two plants I was sad to leave behind the wisteria and a very large maple I had styled in a Japanese bonsai style, it was magnificent but also the roots started to lift the paving close to it. I hope yours flower in far less than 7 years mate. Good luck Sid
You obviously missed the video where my Japanese Wisteria died. Or my first attempt at Chinese Wisteria from seed where I had zero success, lol. Stay safe
its nice to start from seed sometimes. you get to know the tree better. and get more control of the process. wisteria is one on my "want" list. weeping willow too. both majestic species.
Wisteria seems to be a pretty satisfying species to work with! Great movement, wonderful taper, and easy to ground layer! Even without flowers, the leaves are delightful - like locust, but without those nasty thorns. Not sure with wisteria, but often, ground layers will bloom if their parent plant is already of blooming age - may be worth an experiment (if you still have room lol!!).
I'm really enjoying working with vines in general. There's the grape, the russian and....... the other one who's name escapes even though I have made several videos on it and sat here for ten minutes racking my brain. Oh well. It'll come back to me eventually. The flowers on Wisteria are what make them special od course. Stay safe Sue
That’s some positive progress. I had one of 4 seeds germinate but potted it and it died so went to the garden centre and hunted in the bargain bin and got a twin twig in a pot for £15 half price. Going well thus far. Will be interested to see how the roots on yours develop and if you get flowers next year!
Not tried as they layer so easily and the long shoots make it practical to put a pot to root them in almost anywhere. I've heard that some named varieties are grafted onto rootstocks because their own roots can ve a little weak but that would be true of cuttings as well. Stay safe mate

Thanks Joe. 7 years doesn't sound too bad. Definitely better than 15 that I had heard.
Stay safe Joe
Looks like you have a knack for growing Wisteria Sid! Good luck with your fusion project, it looks like you are off to a good start.

True though just like planting a tree the best time to do it is 20 years ago. Stay safe

Seems unlikely I'll get flowers on the small ones but the larger ones may surprise. Stay safe
The vine will take 10 years to fiower thanks sid stay safe mate cheers
I'd heard possibly 15, but someone else told me 7 years, so I guess I'll wait and see. Thanks Phill. Stay safe
Nice! Any succes with cuttings?

My sound is all the way up and I can hardly hear
No one else has said they have a problem. Maybe the problem is at your end? Stay safe
