Wisteria Growing Cycle

Question

I bought four wisterias last year and planted them into the ground last November. Before planting in the ground, they had an abundance of green foliage. I pruned back as described. I live in southern Spain. At the moment I have small brown bud-like growths appearing. When can I expect the green growth to begin? I understand that the plants may not flower for another year or so but I am expecting green shoots.

Answer 1

Those brown buds should turn into green shoots here soon. The brown buds are the leaf and stem buds forming. Many woody plants grow branch buds in this way.
