I would like to see a video specifically showing the first steps from the first year and include (perhaps with a 2nd or 3rd year specimen) how to prune it, when to prune it, and when/how to pinch out the growth tip (and do you need to do this every year?). Thanks!!
@DragonsGait You make a good point. We should cover the basic points from when you receive your vine. Since it may take a little while to get to that here is a brief description of what you do. 1st year train a single vine shoot up a support stake such as a metal conduit or T post until it reaches the height you want. Then you can pinch out the growth tip to promote branching at the top. Keep managing the top for subsequent years and cut any suckers from the base and along your trunk. -FC
We had a wisteria in Iowa .. it grew very well every year .. We had bought ours at Sam's Club; ( for around $ 21.00 ) at the time it was about 4 foot tall. Eventually we stabilized it with 2 trellis' we bought from Walmart/ decorative wrought iron forms. We have moved since then, but I have saved tons of seeds to grow a new one when we buy our new home. Everyone loved it .. I loved the way the vines twisted and curled ... it smelled awesome too ....
Thank you for teaching me how to do this I already have 3 purple ones growing on my swing set stand and some coming that's white and one pink can't wait to try this wonder if I can do my trumpet vine to do this too .
Wow that's so awesome I have blue and pink seedlings I'm going to plant them together as well. I also did that with my morning Glory's and they grew 3 different colors it was awesome
So.... you didn't really show us how to train it. I didn't see any trimming techniques. Basically said "look how beautiful it can be once it is trained for 3 - 10 years.... the end".
Do you have any advice on which particular varieties may do better at training into a tree? I'd like to try the approach you took in using two different colours, and live in Zone 6b of the US.
I see where you say that "you can train" but I didn't see anywhere on "how". You've shown some beautiful examples of what they could look like but you didn't how to start out, where to start cutting and what to start cutting to train it. Is it that easy that all you have to do is stake it? Do you have to trim the branches at any point?
I have a wisteria tree. It is 3 years old now. I am having all kinds of issues with vibes growing out of the ground around the base of the trunk. Do you have any advice on how to get that to stop happening? I am constantly having to go cut them. I am almost to the point of cutting the thing down and digging it out and getting rid of it entirely. I would have probably gotten rid of it this year except it finally decided to bloom.
Are they aggressive? Do you see any runners from different parts of the lawn? That's what I read on forums that they will send out shoots. Please let me know. Beautiful vine tree!
Yes, chinese and japanese wisteria are invasive in the US. There is an American variety but its not as pretty. If you prune once or twice a year (spring and fall) then you won't have a problem.
@darthinvaderson These wisteria are being grown in zone 5 and have done very well there. I've seen a bit of damage in real severe conditions such as -20F Felix
The best times to plant would be in the spring, before it gets too hot and rainfall is still plentiful, or in the fall- anytime after the intense heat has passed.
Hi. Our wisteria looks like our tree; about the same height. Then you show a more mature video of a trained wisteria; but the trunk is only 18 inches. How did you go from the taller trunk to an 18 inch long trunk?? The problem I have is that the trunk being my height of 5'4" , has a very difficult time staying upright like the tree you show on the video. What can I do.
The second, older wisteria that we show has a shorter 18" trunk because we allowed it to branch at that height, rather than pruning off all the branches.
Hy. Can you add even more colors then two? For example a yellow, pink, blue, purple and white and twist them tougher? I really want to try this project ;)
I have been training my wisteria for two years now, and just as it was blooming, a series of big wind storms tore my wisteria off the t-post. What is the item called that is used to hold the vine onto the t-post?
Training a wisteria into a tree has, I think, its limitations. It cannot be taller than the specimen in this video. The wood of the wisteria trunk, no matter how old and thick, is rather soft and spongy. If there is a very strong wind it can easily snap. Perhaps one can enjoy for many years a tree-like wisteria without risk of the main trunk breaking by investing in a galvanized steel narrow trellis or mast. The wisteria would grow up around it permanently.
it can be taller, it just needs something to climb. I wonder, if you grow two wisteria trees together and let them twist around eachother, could it grow taller?
Re the comment below about cutting out any suckers coming up from the ground -- most advise NOT cutting, but pulling up suckers, as cutting encourages sprouts to form underground, and you will get more suckers.
If the root systems are equally strong, the trunks, when compressed together, will kinda weld/ blend themselves together. They start to share cambium layers,too.
@@terrywereb7639 That's interesting! I've always wondered about these things. At my campus beech trees and cherry trees of the same cultivar have been planted very close to one another the the idea that they will grow together eventually. If they end up sharing everything I guess they'll be okay. Thanks!
+Tasha Wakely did you get a grafted tree, one grown from seed, or one propagated from cuttings/air layering? If it's either of the first two options, it could be 7-10 years before the tree matures to the point it starts blooming, or it could just be a weak variety that never blooms regardless of how much work you put into it.
I would like to see a video specifically showing the first steps from the first year and include (perhaps with a 2nd or 3rd year specimen) how to prune it, when to prune it, and when/how to pinch out the growth tip (and do you need to do this every year?). Thanks!!
Me too!!!
Me too also
Me too
Me four
Yes please
I wanna see an update on this plant it’s been ten years this would be badass

Beautiful I grew around Wisteria trees...THE SMELL OF THEM IN THE MORNING JUS WONDERFUL.

Best one I've seen. Good job. I hope I can do at least as good
Beautifully manicured. Well done. Hope I can do that too. Mine just bloomed
Will try to graft and copy what you showed. Thanks for sharing.
May we have a Wisteria update.
Thank you for teaching me how to do this I already have 3 purple ones growing on my swing set stand and some coming that's white and one pink can't wait to try this wonder if I can do my trumpet vine to do this too .

That sounds lovely!
So.... you didn't really show us how to train it. I didn't see any trimming techniques. Basically said "look how beautiful it can be once it is trained for 3 - 10 years.... the end".
They want to sell you one. Not teach you how to do it.
@@karenross3457 Title says HOW TO GROW, not HOW TO BUY.
ᕦò_óˇᕤ that’s my point. They don’t tell you how! Obviously they want to sell them!
Karen Ross I’d like to speak with the manager.
@@FilthyCasual_Jhn20v29 😂
Any updates on this would love to see these trees
I do this with my bouganvillas as well great video!
Good ideas.

what a lovely pink at the end :-)
thanks I can't wait to have my wisteria in that shape

Felix Cooper where are the trees I would love to visit these masterpieces one day
Thank you.
I got the seeds and soaking them for 24 hours. Looking forward to years of enjoyment
What is your mechanism attached to t post,is that wood ?
Very nice!
Thanks for watching Jacqueline!
So beautiful
Such beautiful flowers. Are there any leaves when the tree is in full blooms?
It's hard to see them for the blooms, but yes, there are leaves on the tree.
How many vines are intertwined om the 10 year old wisteria tree? I'd like to grow one just like it
god, we have a 24 year old plant, gunna get cuttings this year, way to many to pass up, and I will be so proud years later because of it.
How you made the trunk so short ?
will the wisteria vine do well in zone 5? what is the the cold hardeness for the vine?
Can I get the info on the latching mechesim please?
Hi! May I ask what species of Wisteria was featured in this video? thanks!
This is a Wisteria sinensis
I’ve been training on that I’ve grown from a cutting taken from a successful plant. How long is the average before I should see blooms?
I love wisteria,
My wisteria is 25 cm high and I would like to form it as a tree. I miss the info on first steps.
How is this wisteria locking today in 2021?
Incredible
when is the best time to plant wisteria in South Carolina?
The best times to plant would be in the spring, before it gets too hot and rainfall is still plentiful, or in the fall- anytime after the intense heat has passed.
@@GurneysSeed thanks so much
What kind of wisteria is that? I bought mine it says pink but the flower come out white. Can please tell me what kind is that? thank you!!

Wow I hope my wisteria turns out like that, I do have it set that way.... Been two years and it's still under a 2 feet high
Hi! How big is now?
Hy. Can you add even more colors then two? For example a yellow, pink, blue, purple and white and twist them tougher? I really want to try this project ;)
Klara-Maria Varro Yeah just showing off their tree. Didn't learn anything from that.
I have been training my wisteria for two years now, and just as it was blooming, a series of big wind storms tore my wisteria off the t-post. What is the item called that is used to hold the vine onto the t-post?
Tanya Adams who knows WisteriaMoon? ):D
Tanya Adams I just found it on gurneys.com search Tree Support item #82314 They are $13 each.
Toni, thanks!
Use a Trellis
Can It be taller? I'd love to be more like a 6 feet of trunk and then the branches
Yes, you can train it to be taller if desired
Alright boys we buying some wisteria trees ain’t no demons coming my house

Does anyone know what that clamp is called?
Hi Ashley- I'm assuming you're asking about this one: www.gurneys.com/product/tree_support
Just bought few plant of westeria
Re the comment below about cutting out any suckers coming up from the ground -- most advise NOT cutting, but pulling up suckers, as cutting encourages sprouts to form underground, and you will get more suckers.
Won't one of the vines eventually "get killed" by the stronger of the two?

This plant will grow in Philippines?
Most likely yes.
what the price 🙂🙂
i got this tree from gurneys last year but it came dead :( so i got another one this year maybe this one will live because i like this tree
☺✅👍👌💗
i clearly am not pruning enough.... i wanted it to spread out but im not getting any blooms!
