14 Questions
Why did you choose this?

I have always fantasized about having a beautiful Wisteria plant but thought I couldn't have them in this zone because they are never in the nurseries. I'm thrilled to have a chance at growing these!

Non invasive species; I plan to use it to cover a pergola

Always wanted to have wisteria. Hoping this plant will thrive!

I loved my Wishteria I had in Louisiana. Unfortunately, I forgot to take cuttings. But the fragrance was intoxicating!

I planted my wisteria sapling a little over a month ago and so far nothing has happened. Is this normal?

Melanie V,

I would not be too worried about this as sometimes transplant shock is too much and no growth will appear until the next growing season. Also Wisteria sometimes establishes slowly and can take a year to become established enough. However if your wisteria starts to decline or show signs of becoming less healthy then there could be something more to it. At which point then it becomes an identify said problem and act accordingly. Helpful hints are if the leafs start to yellow out or fade then it that shows overwatering. Curled or yellowing leafs with brown spots can be under watering.

Can this plant be topped at 5 feet?

It can go up more than 5 feet. My plant grows really high, higher than house roof top, and it grows along side with the big tree I have next to it. That's why it can top so high. It's so beautiful.

I planted a Wisteria vine 12 years ago against a pergola and it still has not bloomed. It grows up the side and is beautiful but I want it to bloom. Any tricks to get this thing going? I thought about buying another one so it has a friend to cross pollinate or something.

I feed my wisteria and lilacs with a sprinkling of 4-10-10 fertilizer about once a month during the spring and summer months and they are lush and give me beautiful flowers. I should have added that you can fertilize with this as often as every 2 weeks. (I sometimes alternate with 10-10-10) Good luck!

Can this Blue Moon Wisteria be trained into a tree?

All wisterias can be trained into a tree form.

How do I protect my Wysteria from deer?

That is a very good question, but I don't have a good answer. I bought 2.
The vine type planted at the base of an oak tree has survived. The second, a bush or tree variety planted in the open, has been consume by the deer and has died.

Should this tree be planted outside of my sprinklers range? I would hate for it to be over watered and die.

I have mine planted at the base of a large declining Ash within my sprinkler system. I live in the high deserts of Reno, NV where plants in general need consistent irrigation to survive. They have not taken off yet. This is their sleep year, next is the creep year, then the leap... so I don't know if this answer will help that much.

Is this an invasive version of wisteria? We here in the South are very leary of wisteria that sends runners everywhere.

This is a "nativar" of Wisteria macrostachya, which is to say it's a native species that has been selected for various traits. Being a native it's technically not "invasive," but it can be aggressive, with runners coming from roots. It isn't, however, a Japanese or Chinese species, and should provide ecological services for the environment in which you put it.

Size what size are these plants- what is delivered??

These are shippe din a 4 inch pit. They are young trees, height will be 4-6 inches

what is the purpose of the bean pods?

A healthy wisteria plant will produce seed pods in late summer and fall. The pods hang from the vine, just like peas. To keep a mature wisteria plant blooming, it's best to cut the seed pods off. Left alone, the pods will ripen and you'll have seeds shooting out.

Can this be grown in a large pot?

You can grow almost anything in a container! This excellent article will answer your questions and provide good advice. Please see "Growing Fruit Trees in Containers" //www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/fruit-trees-in-containers-pt1

Great Find
I bought my little plant and was hoping it would take-off once planted in permanent location. Adding some CocoFiber to the soil my plant last fall, the plant is now 2 ft tall. I am excited to see it flower.

New growth on Wisteria
Our growing season is running late this year, but my new Wisteria plants are coming out very nicely. I can't wait to see how big they will get this year and if we get blossoms on them before next fall. I am really pleased with the plants.

Great plant
I ordered 3 and all three grew at a tremendous pace this year. I thought they were dead when they arrived, but they quickly got leaves and flourished with minimal care. The did not flower during this first year. I am considering buying another 2 or 3 next year.

Planted this in 2021, it survived it's first Missouri winter, has grown stronger this year and even flowered just a bit. My experience with wisteria is that year 3 is when they really take off...we'll see!

It did lose all it's leaves after I planted it, but it put out new ones and now (August) looks healthy. Vines can take a while to become established. I think this one is doing well.
