Wisteria coming into flower...

Post by Elias »

Here is a Wisteria I recently acquired from an old guy who's was thinning out his collection. Needs a little love and attention, but it is an interesting heavy ass piece of material :)

Great trunk, the green looks like a pest that needs removing to me! If you can get some movement on the top it will be great tree!

yeah im with Ken like to see the base to. I imagine you will treat it for rot once it is out.

Hi Guys
Here are a few more pics, including a closer look at the trunk, there is rot, but it has been treated before and I will continue to treat it for rot. Also thank you to the volunteer for holding up the backing board :) I think it is a lil easier to tell the size of this tree now...

Looking good. Great flowers.

I have a couple. The older one has not flowered yet. I suspect it hasn't been in the pot long enough.
