Signature Features of Wisteria Plants

The Wisteria Tree climbs by twisting its stems around any available support. The two most common species of Wisteria are the Japanese and Chinese Wisteria, which can be identified mainly by the direction their stems twist – clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively.

In the United States, the Wisteria is considered invasive due to its hardiness and resistance to cultivation which make it easy to overtake and overcrowd native plants. The fragrant blooms are typically lavender and grow on racemes. Racemes are flower clusters that grow from single stalks on an unbranched, central stem. The central flowers at the base of the stem are the oldest, with new growth coming from the top as they droop longer and longer.

Landscape Uses & Maintenance Tips for Wisteria Trees

This gorgeous tree is truly a showstopping plant to have in your yard, but it can be high maintenance. Is it worth it? We sure think so! The Wisteria Tree is somewhat poisonous to humans, cats, dogs and horses as the seeds are toxic in large quantities.

It is not advisable to plant near a structure like your home or shed because its branches can grow into even the smallest nooks and crannies, compromising the structural integrity of buildings. It can also become quite heavy as its lengthy, flower covered racemes continue to grow, so it requires some pruning to maintain all the magic it brings.
