wisteria cuttings??

[Imp]

There is a large Wisteria at the local shopping center. It's out on the street corner growing on a pergola. Every year right after it is done blooming they give it a hard pruning. It comes back quickly and then blooms again in the fall. I like the way it looks, but have hesitated putting one in my yard.

I love my wild honeysuckle vines which a friend gave it to me several years ago. yes they can be invasive but with trimmings, they are easy to manage. Better than Wisterias. Silver Lace plant is another beautiful one to have too!

i love honeysuckles..i remember as a child, drinking the nectar or whatever it was out of the center of the flower.

I'd prefer Hall's honeysuckles because they are the most profilient and most fragent of all honeysuckles. The garden shop variety of other Honeysuckles, the colorful ones, do NOT have the same fragrent of Hall's honeysuckles. And they are not considered invasive. Some states are going to outlaw it but there are so many in this town that I love it! DD loves to pick them in the evening and put them in the vase and it smells heavenly. Better than candles!

I'm sorry but being a man who loves his yard and works in it everyday I feel the need to ask, why don't you just cut the bush down? I understand you like the smell and the look of the wisteria but it will consume everything and it also chokes out other plants that may be around it and the shoots can destroy just about everything in come in contact with I should know I had to cut mine down and start over again it choke out a creeping ros bush that I have since then the rose bush has grown so fast already that I need to prune it lol the willow I have next to it it started to become one with it and now It has one less limb you will spend alot of time keeping it in check cause if you don't you will lose alot of things to it and will have to cut it all down and start over if it is not kept in check.

As for your bush cut it down and dig the root out as long as you get the main stem of the root the rest will die in time nothing for it to feed or you can get a septic tank root kiiler even if you don't have a septic tank it works wonders I use this on any root system I wanna kill out mix it with a gallon out water and use it on the roots do this everyday and time it rains and before you know it it is dead.

Good luck to you I hope you make the right choice on this matter because Wisteria Is nothing to play around with.

Just bought a Betty Mathews Wisteria vine today and took cuttings to root into new plants. It's already got flower buds!!!


Going to train my vine to grow into a small indoor bonsai tree.
