Pam's Picks
If traditional Wisteria Vine freaks you out with its rampant and aggressive growth, then consider a friendly Wisteria Tree instead. The vine is expertly grafted onto a trunk which prevents it from going wild and keeps it a manageable 6 feet in height. Gorgeous dangling lilac blooms cover the tree is spring for breathtaking appeal. Just lovely!

A New Twist on an Old Favorite
Bare-Root:

The Benefits of Bare-Root Trees...

Bare-root trees are grown in a field and naturally have a larger root system than container grown trees. This means you get a plant that will become established quicker and provide you with superior growth in the spring.

Your tree arrives dormant (sleeping for the winter). Without foliage to support, it doesn't require as much water or nutrients to survive. So transplanting is stress-free.

If you plant in the winter, your roots will continue to grow and become more established. When spring arrives you will see bright new foliage appearing.

Selling bare-root trees allows us to offer you a higher quality product at a lower price.

Graceful and picturesque hardly describes the unparalleled splendor of a Wisteria Tree in bloom. Dignified and lovely year-round, this superstar really turns on the charm when lilac-colored spring blooms provide a breathtaking effect that will continually steal the show. 

Wisteria is a beautiful flowering woody vine, and the Wisteria Tree has been masterfully created by grafting a Wisteria vine on top of a standard tree trunk and root system. 

Sometime between April and June, fragrant violet-blue flowers blanket the Wisteria Tree. These round delicate blooms are dangling, weeping clusters that give the same effect as a crystal hanging from a chandelier. Beautifully dainty! 

The Wisteria Tree is hardy, thriving in zones 4-9. This beauty is so easy to grow it practically takes care of itself. Deer and drought resistant and virtually unaffected by disease and pests, there’s never any need for harmful chemical sprays. 

The Wisteria Tree adapts to a wide range of soil types, but performs best when it’s in fertile, moist and well-drained earth. Vigorous and fast-growing, this tree thrives in full sun to partial shade. 

Reaching mature heights of just 6-10 feet with an 8-10 foot spread, this small tree is perfect for planter beds amid a mixed border of perennials, bulbs or annuals. You may just want to keep this lovely specimen near your deck or terrace, or any outdoor living area where people congregate and can enjoy the Wisteria’s lightly perfumed blossoms. 

If you love Wisteria, but are reluctant to plant it due to its somewhat invasive nature, the Wisteria Tree is the perfect solution. In tree form, Wisteria vines are easily controlled with a small amount of regular clipping. This will also ensure continued blooming and to maintain the desired size and shape.

It's Easy to Plant your Wisteria Tree
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole

Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Wisteria Tree.

First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.

Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.

Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Plant

Next, separate the roots of your Wisteria Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.

The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.

Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.

To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole

As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.

Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.

Water your Wisteria Tree again after the transplant is complete.

To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

very beautiful wisteria tree. At first I was not happy with it since I expected a bigger trunk tree. However the tree seems to be well rooted. I bought it last fall and now it has about more than 50 buds. Haven't seen the flower yet, but I am sure they will be very beautiful

Do Wisteria trees need an arbor?

what do wisteria seeds look like?
A shopper on Sep 12, 2014
Best Answer: The seed pods are long, around 8 - 10 inches and contain several seeds. Each seed is about the size of a lima bean (or slightly larger). From my experience, germination of seeds that fall to the ground is very high. If you don't want your wisteria to take over the space you have it in, I recommend harvesting the seed pods before they dry, open, and spread seed.

Does it bloom if planted to close to a pine tree?
It only gets maybe 4 hours of sun...
Laura C on Jun 12, 2014
Best Answer: Wisteria Trees will do fine in full to partial sunlight, but the flowers will do best with at least 6 hours of sunlight a day.

Will my Trees and Shrubs Look Like the Photographs?

Most trees and plants on the website are pictured in their mature form. Depending on the product and growth rate, mature development can take years for your plant to resemble the photos.

Picture the last time you took a walk in the woods. The young trees were not miniature bonsai versions of mature trees. Instead they were naturally thin and lanky. Young trees are programmed to race toward the light, before the competing vegetation crowds them out. Once established at 10 feet or more, they start developing a wide canopy and shedding lower limbs.

Bare Root trees are shipped without dirt or any green foliage showing. Some customers who have never planted bare root before, think that they received a "dead stick" with roots. These dormant trees are basically sleeping over the winter as most trees do. Because of their hibernation-like stage, this is a great way to transplant these trees. Since a bare root tree lacks foliage, they need very little moisture.


Most Trees and Shrubs are Pruned Before Shipping... at No Cost to You

Pruning makes plants appear to be less-full than the ones you may have seen at your local big box garden center. A retailer's goal is to have plants look their best while sitting in the store. Our goal is to have them look the best after you plant them.

Pruned trees and shrubs not only travel better, but become established much quicker. So rather than supporting extra foliage, they put their energy into sending out deep roots. Once that happens, your plants become hardier and quickly explode with new top growth. Above the ground, pruning helps your plants develop a more attractive form.
