Thanks KC
Everything has been not much more than luck so far as I have only grown the tree out and hacked back to manageable size when needed. I know the vine is very old so maybe that is why it always flowers. Now I need to learn how to prune them for growth and flowering. Bloody Bailey has hung of it twice in the last two days I could throttle the little bugger :x After the first time I had to tie the tree in as he loosened it in the pot Arrggggg!
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Very nice Bretts, did you remove the flower stalks/fuits after flowering? I discovered virtually hundreds or maybe thousands of small fruits on my big white wisteria. Will have to remove them this arvo in case they drain energy out of the tree.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
