The wisteria is one of the fast and very strong growing plants. In just a few years, it can overgrow the entire wall of your house. This looks very nice, but unfortunately the wisteria is also very poisonous.
Wisteria can grow up to 30m high
Wisteria grows about one to one and a half meters per year. This makes it less suitable for planting in a bucket, at least it needs special care there and careful and regular pruning.
How big can a wisteria get?
The final size of a wisteria depends significantly on its location and the care given to it. If he feels really well, he can grow up to 30 meters high. However, this is not necessarily the norm. Most of the time, a wisteria grows about eight to twelve meters tall.
Can I prune a Wisteria?
Regular pruning is not only allowed with wisteria, it is urgently required, because otherwise it will not bloom. You should use secateurs at least once a year, but better twice a year, in late summer and winter.
Not only does pruning ensure lush flowering, it also helps you shape the wisteria and keep its growth somewhat under control. He also tolerates a radical cut.
The essentials in brief:
- fast and strong growing
- Growth per year: approx. 1 to 1.5 m
- maximum size: up to 30 m
- average size: 8 to 12 m
tips
