You guys know anything about wisteria plants?

That's exactly what I'm hoping for.

Be careful what you wish for

The ones that aren't growing at all look like this.

Planting wisteria is the wolf reintroduction of the gardening world.

The color makes me think there was some shock from going indoors to full sun. Keep giving them good deep water and let it dry out some between waterings. When they push out new growth it should be deeper green and not have that burn.

I've been watering every other day, sometimes every 4 days.

One thing I can say for sure is, they demand full sun. I planted 2 to climb my pergola, one never made the top because it had partial shade. The other climbed and roofed the top, but then got partial shade as a couple trees expanded and it's mostly done for now.

I would say Tyrantasourus Rex.

Do not plant it anywhere there is lattice work. You will eventually regret that and want to burn your yard down.

That's a weed here in the southeast.

I watered em yesterday afternoon and again this morning, we'll see if additional water makes any difference.

My first house in GA was overrun with wisteria. The lot was about 1/4 acre and the neighbor behind my lot had planted it. It had come all throughout my yard, previous homeowners never dealt with it. I waged an all at war against it trying to get rid of it. I cleaned it up, but never officially won the war.

It would send runners throughout the yard and pop up a week or two later in a new spot. It might grow differently in your area though.

If you’re in the southeast, just make sure your dog or kids don’t stay in one spot in the yard too long or it’ll start growing on them.

Not to invite big brother or nothing, but there's good reason a lot of the Asian Wisteria is illegal to plant/propagate in some states.

I'd burn that shit to the ground with some crossbow and find something else to put there, even if it was my neighbors

Botanical gardens have been just fantastic for native Flora

i was not aware that people willingly and intentionally planted wisteria. prepare to have your property completely overrun

That's the whole idea. I've got plenty of room and the landowner behind me drug a meth wagon double wide in and I don't want to look at it.

I get that. And hate that you have neighbors like that. Wisteria will help you with that view if it has something to climb. For me the harshest words spoken in this thread don’t come close. I’ve been dealing with it for 17 years and can’t get it killed. It once sent a runner all the way under the house and up under the siding on the opposite side. Only knew it when I spotted it coming out of the joint between siding and soffit. The devil, I tell you.

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Can you plant something else, like Leland Cypress? Don't know if it can stand the winters there, but it grows real fast.

 

[B Harrison]

I just dug a hole and planted them in potting soil.

Some of them may have run into unhealthy soil.

Loosed some dirt around them and fertilize them.
Research about soil ph and treat that.

I wish the best for you, but this act may end up making you a bigger neighborhood terrorist than your meth wagon neighbors.

It's not a neighborhood. If I planted 400 acres of wisteria nobody would even notice. Until they setup the meth wagon and rent it out. It's been sitting there split in half for a year+

I had a Chinese wisteria at my place that was choking out an oak tree. I cut it down years ago. It keeps coming back. Sometimes twenty feet from its original location. I’ll cut that and/or spray the tiny shoots that pop up with brush killer. It’s crazy. I wouldn’t plant it unless you are 100% sure you want it there forever.
