Each of my companions from Carol to the present had something for wisteria vines - especially when they bloom in large clusters that hang down like an over productive grape vine
. Consequently, I made several attempts to grow wisteria - quite unsuccessfully, may I add. I now have achieved partial success in great measure. That is, I have a vine that seemingly could take over anything. It appears one should be very careful around it because of tendrils that reach out in many directions - some a half inch in diameter. (Maybe a boa constrictor would be safer to have around. I'll ask Emily.) The two half inch-diameter tendrils ran along the ground in opposite directions and were about eight feet long when I discovered them and brought them upon to the porch and aimed them around a couple of columns. Now, here is my question for any and all of you "would be," "wanna be" horticulturists. I have had this robust vine for probably five years, WHY DOESN'T IT BLOOM? It appears to me that the vine could support thousands (maybe a slight exaggeration) of blooms. gwh
