I live in Mi, and my wisteria had just started to green up, early I might add, then we had a frost/freeze. Now it is drooping and not looking so good. Can I do anything to bring it back or should I wait and see and then give it another trim?

Is there anything I can do to get my wisteria to bloom? It is in full sun and is growing as a wisteria grows but has never bloomed. Help please!

My white wisteria vine is planted in a large tree barrel and is in full sun (California, central coast). It was blooming beautifully but suddenly began to droop and turn brown, not only on older blossoms but also new ones. I don't see any evidence of insects or rot.
I would say something is getting the roots. If you can, check them. There are several things it could be from root rot to pests to rodents.
It may also be a fungus. As a precaution, treat the plant with a fungicide.
Thanks for the information. I am going to wash them with a fungicidal soap. Also, the nursery told me that because of the strong winds we had last week and cooler temps it could have damaged it but that new growth would be coming soon. We'll see!
Wisteria vines, Concord grape vines and a 3-year-old peach tree. All have blooms. Also, climbing rose bushes.

I have a blank slate backyard. I've had wisteria before and know how wild it can be. A friend gave me a bucket of wisteria and I need an inexpensive idea of how to support and train it. Help!
What kind of support depends on what you plant on letting the wisteria do. If you plan on pruning yearly and heavily, you do not need as large a support. But, regardless of what you plan on doing, the support must be sturdy--like a large post, heavy-duty trellis, or even a pergola.
I can recall reading about growing a Wisteria up on a wooden post. Does anyone recommend growing Wisteria this way, as I do not have a suitable fence.
Wisteria will grow up just about anything that is vertical. A post can work, but the only thing to be aware of is that it will quickly outgrow a post. You need to keep on top of it with pruning if grown this way to keep it from being a nuisance.
I have a free standing wisteria, which is about 50 years old. This year we have a white type fungus growth on the bark. It is in full bud, but we are a little worried about this fungus. We would be grateful for any advice.
Treat the plant with a fungicide (like neem oil) and that should fix it, but realize that it could just be dying from old age. Individual wisteria vines normally last 10-20 years.
