Wisteria

It's lovely , it has to start somewhere , Klahanie .
Ours are nearly over here , they have been so early this year .

that is so pretty, love the way it hangs :O)

Hi Driad, I have noticed that you gals in UK are couple of weeks ahead from our growing season.

I am trying to grow this one as a small tree Oliveoil.
But it wants to go all over the place, I usually crop it in the middle of summer and then later in the fall. Is yours still blooming?

Yes mine is still flowering, not as many on as yours but I do nothing with mine it has its own way and is now about 40ft up in the trees. lol. :O) there are some blooms lower down in the fir trees and they smell amazing. :O)

They are beautiful growing up the trees Oliveoil, but mine is right at the entrance so I want to keep it under control. I have lots of tall trees I could plant them by and you just gave me an idea. Thanks. We have lots of Hedera helix happily growing up the trees and eventually killing them. I do not think that wisteria would kill the tree....would it?

It hasn't done mine and it has been there for a few years now Klahanie :O)

The flower spikes look beautiful!

Is it just starting to bloom, now? The Wisteria here bloomed back in February and March.

Yes blooming right now Delonix1. Little late is not it?
I think they had colder than normal winter here (while we were in Mexico.)

Yes, it seems very late to me. However, with this being said: most plants/trees bloom very early here in San Diego's beautiful subtropical climate. Some plants/trees this year have not stopped blooming, like for example my African Tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata), which has never happened before.
