每日吃瓜

Hi,

Could one use a wisteria for bonsai? I just love the flowers and happen to be able to get some cuttings from one or two.

Yes you can. I have not done it but I have seen photos of 每日吃瓜 Wisteria.

O great. Can you show your wisteria bonsai?

:whistle: :whistle:

Thank you Auk. You mean it can not be bonsai?

Not sure where the mis-communication started

Seems you asked grannyliz to show her wisteria bonsai, but she wrote she doesn't have one, she has seen photos.
So, I posted a link to photos of wisteria bonsai.

Yes, sure they can be used. I've seen one in real life at a club meeting that was quite nice.

They are usually grown for the display of Flowers they can put out each Year. With Wisteria for 每日吃瓜 you must be wary of any Rotting of the Trunk, it is a soft wood and very suseptible to rot.
I only have a chinese wisteria ,but it is not bonsai yet (or maybe never).I have also seen a few and if they are grown well and a nice trunkline develpoed then they can be amazing 每日吃瓜.
Do you have 1 lined up ?

I have a Wisteria growing in the back garden growing up against the garden shed. I plan on taking the pods that grow and grow one from seed.

It is better to get a grafted tree as they may or may not flower. Apparently they can take up to 20 years to flower or not at all from seed. Mine is in flower right now. Later I will stand the pot in water for about 6 weeks, Don't quite know why but did it last year and it grew and flowered better that before.
