Vienna, VAQ.Wisteria Pods Suddenly Dropping In Winter After Severe Pruning
I'm in Northern Virginia. We have a 15+ year old wisteria that wasn't blooming for years. We had it drastically pruned a few weeks ago (in January...it's been a very mild winter) and now suddenly there are pods dropping like crazy. I think this is a good sign because it has barely dropped pods for years or have we damaged it by pruning so extensively in the winter? Worried....

Certified ExpertA.I am unclear on what is going on. It can't have seed pods without flowering, first. If you mean that it is flowering after pruning then it is a sign of stress. There isn't much to be done about it, except for caring for it as usual.
If there are seed pods on it, then it is likely that the flowers were missed and they have already dropped, forming seeds in their place.
Either way, you will want to ensure that you care for it as it needs to be. It will recover, as they enjoy a hard pruning as they age.

Certified ExpertA.Those are very popular plants and your local nursery may carry them. If not, online nurseries sell them. We don't sell plants, but offer free gardening advice.

Certified ExpertA.We don't, usually, recommend places to purchase. I would say that you could try your local nurseries, or even try online vendors through places like Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay.

tulsa okQ.My Wisteria Is 4-5 Years Old And Has Never Bloomed? It Has Good Sunlight, Drainage And Fertilizer, Its Very Green And Healthy Othe
i hava about 8 plants, all bought at the same time, could they just be non bloomers? Ive pruned every year in aug and feb and even took a shovel to break up the roots hoping it would bloom with no luck! But vines grow like a week.

Certified ExpertA.Vigorous growth with no blooms sounds like there may be a little too much nitrogen in the soil! Even when the soil has the exact fertility needed, these vines can be finicky to bloom.
In most cases, patience is the only remedy. Sometimes, you can help it along. This article will help:

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. It does sound a bit like you have a grafted cultivar. It probably has one type as the top scion, and the bottom root stock as a different type. This could cause different bloom types on the same plant.
You can keep it how it is, or you can choose whichever blooms show more to keep.

April 18, 2020Q.Why is my wisteria not climbing?
I have 2 wisterias, one on each side of an arbor. Nothing blocks either one of them, they have the very same growing conditions, literally are less than 2' apart. One is growing like crazy, crawling right up the arbor; however the other one is not nearly as full and is not climbing at all. I've had them a couple years and when I bought them they were, from the ground to top, about 2' tall or so. One has grown probably another 2' and the "problem child" maybe 6-9". Help! What would cause that?

Certified ExpertA.The problem child Wisteria may just need help in climbing. I wonder too if the light is a little less on the other side of the arbor. Even just 2 feet apart, the soil and light conditions can be different. While wisteria doesn't require fertilizer, you might want to spread some 5-10-5 fertilizer on the short side.

Compared to other wisterias in my local area mine is the only one which has large amounts of green foliage with lots whippy growth in April. All other wisterias around me have no leaves but are about to go into flower. I planted mine 3 years ago and have never had a flower, Just lots of green growth. Many thanks
