The 7 Year Wonder

Seven years in the making , Wisteria chinensis has finally arrived in  full glory.  Time to break out the bubbly !   If you've had a wisteria for a long time and it hasn't bloomed you can try my method.  First root prune it - take a shovel and chop the roots to within a half foot of the crown or trunk, sprinkle a high phosphate fertilizer around it and water it in.

And of course as you are leaving you might say something like " Bloom damn it or it's off with your head ! "
