Pot selection for wisteria

[DavidWilloughby]

Hi Gerard,

No worries about doing the virts, they were easy to do because you provided a great quality photo that ticked all the boxes for me. Also pots 2 and 6 are individual pots, the site where I got both images from is this: (homepage) http://www.tokoname.or.jp/bonsai/ and you can see the pots through the Gallery on that page.

I like the new pot it went into although I feel it could be a little small for it, but thats just me and afterall pot choice is a very individual thing. I look forward to seeing it in flower.

Josh,

The program I use is Corel Paint shop Pro PHOTO x2, I have had it for years and have found it very useful for tarting and titivating up photos (it comes in handy as I have an ancient camera lol)

Sorry Gerard, the T.W pot doesnt do it for mine. Love the No 3 though, lovely colour combination between the tree and pot.

While on the topic of repotting, does the Wisteria have any specific requirements?

Repotted a Wisteria many years ago, was a prolific flowerer before repotting. Thereafter was healthy and produced new growth, but failed to flower. Tree was sold a couple seasons later, not sure if it ever returned to flowering. Someone at the time mentioned they like being pot bound to produce flowers, any truth to this statement?

I had them flower after repotting so doubt the requirement for being pot bound.

No problem I appreciate the straight answer.
Repot was essential after about 6 years so I went ahead although I was uncertain. I know it is a little under size but I believe they flower best when potbound.
I do like the unglazed two tone pot it gives the impression of a shadow below where the racemes will hang. This pot will do the job for a year or two and will give me time to look for something slightly larger. At the same time I will make decisions regarding unglazed brown colour of this pot and if it works with a wisteria.
