The Wisteria Tree is a heavenly, romantic tree whose green vines and lavender blooms climb and hang gently from any surface they come across. This East Asian native is part of the legume family and features long, drooping racemes of flowers up to 18 in long that look magnificent climbing up a trellis, gazebo or stone wall. Due to its tendency to twine itself around any surface, it has more spread than height, only reaching 15 ft on average, while often spreading 15 ft or more.

Signature Features of Wisteria Trees
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.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
