What would you call Wisteria? A shrub? A vine? A climber? A tree.... perhaps? This is the building I grew up in! And check this out! PS. The apartment I grew up in is on the other side of the building... facing north, not the wisteria LOL moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
I'd call mine a woody climber as it wends its way over my garden arch. :-D Mine has never flowered as profusely as the one in your photograph though.
I think of it as a vining, climbing shrub/tree! Some think of them as a invasive nuisance. One of my aunt's has some that has almost taken over the back fence area due to the fact that it wasn't "kept in check". She does have a nice sized one in the front that is kept pruned... and it sure is a beauty. I was threatened with certain death that if I had some growing, it had better not spread or climb on anything. So... I think I'll just admire them from afar (for now). There are some lucky folks on that side of the building. That one is a real treasure!!
Oh, wow, that is a BIG wisteria! According to Botanica, wisteria is a woody climber. I've seen it used as a vine, and also trained into tree form. I want one so badly I can taste it! I have a perfect spot in the front yard flower bed. I'm on a wisteria hunt.
In these parts, Wisteria is an awesome, beautiful vine. It is especially pretty right now. Love yours, Calin!
Thanks! Will try today to take some pics with the neighbors all entangled in their tree. I haven't got one...
Cal, that is one awesome wisteria vine/tree/etc. I assure you that mine is not so awesome, but then I do not have anything higher than old elm or oak trees for them to climb. I have always been told that they can pull down houses... Marlingardener, I can send wisteria seeds, probably in the fall unless I find some more laying around. They do take time to get so huge though. Mine should be blooming in a few days, so I hope to have a picture of it soon.
This is a "G" rated group of forums. The forum owners won't let me use the adaquate words to describe how destructive and unwelcome I think this plant is...
