June 18, 2018Q.Wisteria and Japanese beetle
I'd like to replace my grape vines with an attractive vine to shade my pergola. I love wisterias. Would this be an option unattractive to Japanese beetles?? If not, do you have other ideas for me? The beetles just reached our area in Denver, Colorado last year for the first time!

June 24, 2018Q.wisteria
I have a wisteria growing up a pergola. I planted it about 8-9 yeara ago and it has been flowering for many years after reaching maturity. I never water it and I usually prune in January and july. this year I didn't prune until February and it has stopped growing. Since I pruned it no buds, flowers or leaves have grown and it just looks like it may be dead. Have I killed it? I scraped some bark back just below the surface and it is white underneath. I cut a piece off and there is green, but only right in the middle. Will it come back or should I replace it?

June 25, 2018A.Annual pruning will help keep established wisteria in bounds and the plants blooming. Summer pruning helps control growth and promote bloom. Side shoots and laterals (stems growing off the main stems) are pruned back just above the fifth or sixth bud from the main stem. In late winter these same branches are pruned back to within 2 to 3 buds of the main stem. The plant's energy will concentrate here in these buds that will bear the spring bloom. Overgrown vines should be tackled over several years. Severe pruning can results in vigorous growth of leaves and stems but inhibit flowering for several years.
I would go ahead with pruning and it can help rejuvenate a stunted vine.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

July 16, 2018Q.Wisterias
I have a question, I look at the pictures of Wisterias and they have the flowers in "clumbs" mine are single flowers. But I have to say that in Spring the FIRST blooming is pretty full. Then I will get a second blooming not so many flowers. Right now middle of July she has "sprung" a mass of blooms will do this up to 5 times a year when I see other ones around town that only bloom once why is this that mine will have multiple blooming?

July 17, 2018A.There are 3 main wisteria types, Chinese, American and Japanese. They are all a bit different in bloom characteristics. Bloom in wisteria is also affected by how much sun the leaves get, under or over-fertilization and improper pruning. Unlike other shrubs or vines, wisteria can't just be "cut back" to contain growth. Specific cuts back to the "monkey feet" buds stimulate bloom. To be a prolific bloomer, proper pruning in late winter and mid summer is a must. It is quite a chore considering how tall and massive some get. Congrats on taking great care of your wisteria.

Certified ExpertA.These can be quite finicky to flower unless certain conditions are met. Fortunately, you can get these to flower again pretty easily with the correct knowledge.
