Certified ExpertA.It appears to be one of the many types of wisteria borer. You can spray with neem oil, rosemary oil, mint oil, lavender oil, and garlic extract. Just mix a few drops of any or all of these together into warm water with a little coconut oil, and spray the plant down as often as you need.

I have had our Wisteria plant for about 10 years and it has bloomed once a few years back.I wondered what could be going on? The foliage looks very health. Just no flowers. Can you help me understand what is going on with it?

London W2 TO W4Q.Old compost Bags ; Replanting mature Wisteria.
1. Moving house & clearing out - have found old bags of earth - J.Innes; a mulch; seed compost. etc. Do these go off with time (10 years or more) - or just get better like maturing wine? 2. I am hoping to move and replant a much-loved, v.happy, 27 yr.old wisteria. I hope to dig up as much root as I can, with from 1 foot to c.4 feet of trunk. This can go in a big bag of damp earth and await new home in a few weeks. All comment and advice gratefully appreciated. Martin.

Certified ExpertA.As long as the soil hasn't gotten an infection, then it will be alright. Wet the soil down and smell it. An earthy smell and some musk is normal. Mold or bacteria will make themselves very noticeable as a smell.

South of FranceQ.Wisteria
Is it too late to cut back wisteria beginning December. If not how much cutting works to still get flower buds for spring I’m in south France. Flowering is normally from early March.

Certified ExpertA.You can prune these in mid-winter, as well as during the summer. I would say wit another month before pruning to make sure it is still in dormancy. The second pruning will be after the blooms drop. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/pruning-wisteria.htm
