June 21, 2017Q.Wisteria inquiry
I have a 3 year old wisteria plant. The main vine itself is only about 4-5 feet long right now, but has many new branches this year. Is this too young to start pruning? If so, what age should I start? Also what is a typical age for one to start blooming? Thanks.

July 5, 2017A.No, this would not be a place to plant Wisteria. The vine would likely overtake and kill the tree.

July 11, 2017A.I'm sorry your Wisteria has been damaged!
The feeding larvae of different types of pests is sometimes the cause of "skeletonized" leaves. Some adult pests even feed at night, so you won't see them during the day. Wisteria, however, don't really fall prey to many pests, but the one exception is Leaf Borers...and those little buggers are more difficult to track down and get rid of. These articles may help you positively identify and control whatever is making a buffet out of your wisteria:

July 24, 2017Q.Pruning a flowering wisteria tree
Our wisteria tree has shoots growing out of the top of the tree and are aiming to the sky. My husband insists that he tops them all off. I think they will eventually bend down to form a beautiful more full tree. I am afraid that he is going to ruin it. Please advise us.

July 26, 2017A.You need to allow your Wisteria to grow up for a few years until they reach the a nice height and get it's roots established. Once it reaches the height desired you can began pruning the vine for shape and flowering.
The top is pinched out when it reaches the height desired and you began to train out the horizontal side branches.
If you keep letting your Wisteria grow upwards you will only get flowers on the top of your plant.
Pruning directions are in the article below.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/pruning-wisteria.htm

LondonQ.Wisteria shoots dying
I have three Wisterias that I planted two years ago. All three have grown well onto their respective frames, and this year they all flowered beautifully for the first time. After flowering, however, one of the plants died back a little, and while the others have since put out lots of new shoots, all the shoots that grow from the faltering Wisteria last a couple of weeks before dying back again once more. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Certified ExpertA.It could be a fungus or it could be something affecting the roots. Treat the plant with a fungicide to treat for possible fungus. Next, check the roots for damage. Wisteria is susceptible to crown gall, so look especially for growths on the trunk at the base.
