Fair Haven. 07704Q.Wisteria
I have very small buds on my wisteria which are not developing and are falling off. I only have a few blooms at this time. Last year my plant was covered in blooms. Is there a reason for this? I did do some pruning but not harsh.

May 6, 2016Q.What can I use instead of a pergola for a wisteria plant
I don't have a pergola and don't really have a place for one but I would like to get a wisteria plant. I can put it on the side of my shed but what would I use for support?

May 12, 2016Q.Wisteria Problems
I may have hurt our wisteria. It has been growing on a pergola for quite a few years now. This year, there are very few blooms and the whole tree has very few leaves as well, with many of them looking dried up. Last fall I cut down a spruce tree in the yard and piled the branches under the pergola with intentions to burn the branches in a nearby fire pit soon. Unfortunately, the branches sat under the pergola (next to and under the wisteria) until today, when I finally removed them. In addition to that, as I was removing the branches, I found a strange white foamy substance in the pile all the way down to the ground covering about a 4' diameter. The foam didn't appear to be insect larvae but more like some kind of fungus perhaps. Do you think the ground has become acidic due to the spruce tree branches being there and do you think there is concern about the foamy substance?

May 14, 2016A.I would suggest having a soil test done on the area you are concerned with.
Your local County Extension Office can help with this.Here is a link to locate your closest office.

Connecticut, zone 5Q.Wisteria problem
This spring in Zone 5 my wisteria is looking totally bare, no leaves or blooms. The wisteria is at least 18 years old and has been growing on an arbor. Early last fall I pruned the vine, but this winter I did not. Yesterday, I found two green buds that look to be growing. How should I prune the wisteria this year if it is still looking very bare, no growth showing? I want to know if it is dead or dormant.

Certified ExpertA.This spring has been a rather cold one for most of the US. And that has kept some plants dormant longer than they usually are. As long as the branches are pliable and you are seeing signs of green growth, the plant is still alive. It is just taking a little longer to wake up, is all.
You can go ahead and prune it now or you can wait until you see more growth. Wisteria will tolerate pruning at almost any stage.

North Providence, Rhode Island 02911Q.Wisteria dormancy
My twenty year old wisteria is large and has bloomed for the last thirteen years. This year there is no sign of growth. I am worried it has died. Do they ever go dormant?
- Answered by

May 27, 2016A.Your Wisteria could just be delayed this spring.
Check the branches and bark. Do the branches snap and break or bend?
Scratch the bark. If you see green, it is still alive.
Dead wood appears tan or brown under the bark.The links below will have more information for you.
