The first wisteria blooms of the season
My wisteria are blooming early this year. About two weeks earlier than normal.
Here is a current photo of one of my white flowering wisteria.
I hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Paul

Re: The first wisteria blooms of the season
Hey Paul,
That is looking absolutely stunning. I am very interested to know your regime is (feed pruning etc), I have read a fair bit on them & theres lots of conflicting bits of information. In general I just stick with Peter Valda's advice in his book 'Wisteria' but that only relates to garden plants & does not have any specific info regarding growing them as a little tree.
I am guessing its a floribunda hybrid, I have 'Jako' growing on in the ground but its flowers dont have that slight pink blush, do you know which variety yours is?

Wah, If that tree was on my coffee table, I reckon i could just sit and stare at it for an hour and still not want to look away. It's gorgeous!

Very Nice Paul 
By chance do you have a cascade one. Funny that I don't see man cascaded styles in this.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: The first wisteria blooms of the season
My wisteria is this colour when its blooms as well. Nice to see how nice it can look at such an advanced stage. Is it the Japanese variety of wisteria by any chance?

Re: The first wisteria blooms of the season
That is absolutely beautiful Paul! Amazing. As well as the glorious flowers such a beautiful shape and proportion. Just a stunning image of a flowering tree. I agree with Jozaeh, the mind goes blank and you just stare, its a 'reverie moment'.
Congrats,
neal.
ps - How tall would that be?
