I have seen wisteria just blooming away in the most awful roadside conditions. Who knows what the final triggers are. The mysteries of horticulture.

Trust me it gets cut back regularly and severely. After I was told that some seed propagated ones will never bloom I tried to get rid of it about 10 years ago and it still keeps coming back. Now the native ones like W. frutescens 'amethyst falls' bloom at a young age, reliably and several times a season and are not nearly so agressive.acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581544144657027437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170210501356136695.post-80534621437243135012009-07-21T08:45:13.791-04:002009-07-21T08:45:13.791-04:00Pamela--All you can do is keep whacking it back.
