Yessiree Bobcat, that''s a bud !
Hey y'all, I'm as excited as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! After 7 long years -yes-you read that right - 7 - my Chinese wisteria has produced it's first bud. This is a Wisteria standard that sells for $500 but I got it end of season for $100.
It really should look like this one that used to grace my backyard garden :
The one above had to be moved for remodelling of the porch ( ouch ! ) and didn't survive the transplant. It bloomed its 2nd year in the garden. Thus far, I've tried everything but standing on my head on the Wisteria in the front and nothing worked. So I took drastic measures and pruned the roots and gave it some organic bloom food. I think this lonely guy is the result.
Oh, and I also said " If you don't bloom you're outta here. "
