| I have a large wisteria & have grown several from seedlings and given them away. They are slow to grow at first. BTW, Has anyone else expereinced the seed pods opening? Its funny as, when the seed pod opens, it sounds like a loud cap gun going off, then the sound of seeds landing several feet away. The pods open with force and the seeds are scattered. I had heard about it but never heard it until a number of years ago. Its the plants way of propagation. Another one of natures wonders. |

| I put a half dozen plants in the ground a few years ago. They were maybe 3-4 ft tall when planted. Since they've grown like weed and flower, but I haven't seen a seed pod yet. Now that it's been mentioned, I'm wondering why.... |

| I remembered this thread from reading it yesterday and ran outside with my point and shoot camera after work and took a few pics of my wisteria that I trained into a small tree. ![]() Then a little closer. ![]() And a little closer still....... ![]() |

| OMG that is just too beautiful. I love the look of wisterias. I am so jealous. I'm trying to train mine along the wall of my back yard. I so like that color purple/lavender. Do those have double blooms? If you get another baby plant, could you let me know. I would like one. How old is your plant by the way? As I said before, I'm still waiting for mine to bloom.

| Yep, double bloom! |

| I live about 45 min. northeast of San Francisco. No need to dig it up now. In winter is fine. I can wait. I've learned to be patient from gardening. I would love one though, even if I have to wait years for it to bloom. I've never seen a double around here. Several neighbors have them but just single blooms. One guy has one too that's like a small 4' tree that blooms lick heck. Sooo envious. Thanks in advance.

| When I just bought my house, I just discovered one growing up the side of the shed. It was hiding in the boston ivy and white lilac. That and its taller then I am and I had to look up to see the flower dangling above me. The shed is incrusted in boston ivy which Im hacking down to keep it from ruining the shed. It'd be one thing if the ivy was on trellis but its attached to the structure itself. The wisteria is trellised. |
