It got so big he had to install a solid stainless steel support for it, a kind of cross-bar, T thing. After a few years, the wisteria split the thing apart as if it were a toothpick. That's how strong it was.

One vacation we stopped at a S.C. plantation house off the beaten path to see the Manor house which was closed, boo hoo. As I was walking toward the house in awe of its beauty I notice a perfume in the breeze, I turned around and was stunned by an equally impressive wisteria in full bloom .

I've got a wisteria with a trunk as thick as my forearm, but it produces maybe ten or twenty flowers. These apparently produce thousands of flowers each, and you can barely see the trunks growing up the sides of the lattice! There must be some trick to it. Insanely gorgeous, this.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.com
