Questions & Answers
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.
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 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!
All wisterias can be trained into a tree form.
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.
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.
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.
These are shippe din a 4 inch pit. They are young trees, height will be 4-6 inches
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.

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!
