Later I will stand the pot in water for about 6 weeks, Don't quite know why but did it last year and it grew and flowered better that before.


That doesn't phase me. I am happy to grow it from seed. It is going to take me 10 years to get my Juniper to a thickness good enough for a pot I have. So I am perfectly fine with the slow growing rate of trees.

Fine, no reason why you can't grow from seed. From what I was told it is possible that it will not flower at all. This is why they are grafted. That way they will flower in 5 years or even less, I think I would prefer to get the tree to flowering rather than waste so many years waiting.

OK, good to keep in mind

Do you have 1 lined up ?


Yeah.. two with very little root (Story of my urban digs lately) and one a true cutting, from one of the main trunks.

I really hope they live for you mate, they are Japanese wisteria right?, with the twist going clockwise.

Yep I agree with Geoff, Wisteria can take 15 to 20 years for the Trunk to "Mature" before it'll even consider flowering. Take cutting of a flowering specimen tree or as Leatherback has done collect them

Love to see Geoff's wisteria ;)

I will take a picture shortly. I was not refering to the trunk, but to the fact that they can be shy in flowering, this was the information given to me recently.
