The Beautiful and Deadly Wisteria

The Beautiful and Deadly Wisteria - An Amazing Plant!

4 роки тому

Wisteria is one of the most beautiful and recognizable climbing vines in the eastern and southern US. However, I bet most people have no idea what is really neat about this plant. That's what I tried to show here. We did get fairly lucky by finding the mother-load of wisteria vine patches! It's really an amazing plant.

When I was a kid, I used to take walks around the neighborhood with my mom. Wisteria were our favorite flowers to see in peoples' yards because they smelled so nice. Mom decided to plant some at home. Supposedly it takes several years to bloom, so she trims and trains the vines to cling to our fence by the driveway. We seemed to have a very hearty wisteria, that was happy to cover the fence with bushy vines, but also desperately wanted to reach for the sky. After 8 years it never did bloom, but kept dropping these hard pod things, which no one else's wisteria had. Eventually some visitor noted this plant and said to my mom, "Wow, I've never seen anyone do that with a walnut tree before." "WHAT?!" Either we'd gotten a wrong seed somehow, or some squirrel planted his right as we were planting ours. Regardless, to this day I still tease mom about the walnut bush. XD

@richscatenclosures7535 4 роки тому

Will take a long time with seeds. There are ways to it to bloom faster. You need to propagate from an established wisteria vine.

I bought my first house in 1996. I transplanted a small amount of wisteria against a fence soon after. My elderly new neighbor came to my door with a lilac bush he wanted to plant for me if I'd let him dig up the wisteria.

@2dush2 3 роки тому

Climbing and strangling vines serve a very important role in dense forests. They will create meadows within a forest. When a stand of tree has been killed, the vines are then replaced by grasses that grow through the vines. Since the vines can't climb the grasses, the vines die off. The trees then return to the grassy meadow growing back into a dense forest which completes the cycle.

@grimble4564 3 роки тому

That's only the ideal case with plants that have evolved in the same environment. The reason why Asian wisterias are so concerning in the southeast is that native trees have never had to compete with such an aggressive climber. They just can't keep up with how fast it grows, so all that happens is that the forest keeps shrinking while the grassland keeps growing. Asian Wisteria's are causing serious habitat loss and are a major threat to North American biodiversity. Everyone who manages land should be doing their best to confine the spread of invasive species.

@DaimyoD0 2 роки тому

If you live in the southeastern US, you could plant American Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens) safely. Probably still a good idea to trellis it and keep an eye on it; I don't know if the natives are prone to kill your trees or take over the yard, but the native species plays a useful ecological role and you shouldn't have to worry about it causing damage to the forest if the seeds escape. Edit: I should add that, while I do have some training in forest ecology, I don't specialize in vines & epiphytes, and don't know a ton specifically about the relationship of American wisteria and forests. That is to say, I don't know how aggressively it grows, but usually even the most aggressive native species have their populations controlled by the other species and environmental conditions they evolved alongside. So probably still do your own research when it comes to protected forest, but I would say, in general, the more native plant species you put in your yard, (and the fewer aggressive introduced/invasive species) the better. You can help support the important ecological relationships taking place on the nearby public lands by planting your own native species at home.

I am not sure but I think though each pollinator will use each as nectar and larval food (oviposit! ⤴️ bottom of leaf, caterpillar eats leaf..LEAVES!).

It grew into the neighbors tree and pulled it over to my side of the fence, grew all across my roof and has sent out runners into my yard and all along the base of the fence. I love it and hate it.

@Murphis55 3 роки тому

We had one trained as a tree by itself in our yard. When in full bloom you could not open the windows neat it the smell was so strong it would get almost sickening. Imagine dumping a full bottle of perfume in your car. Smells good outside but inside can be a bit much. Great info. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

How do you train a plant?

@ArtByKarenEHaley Рік тому

@@hasanershad63 It depends on the plant. Wisteria is naturally a vine, so to 'train' it to grow as a tree you need to place 2 or 3 supporting posts near it. They have to be far enough apart to allow the plant to grow, about 24 inches from support to support is probably good. Then you guide the young plant to grow in the center using gardener's tape or twine. As it gets larger, you loosen the tape or twine so the plant doesn't get strangled. When it's bigger the vine can support itself. While the vine is growing, you prune the lower branches off and only keep the top branches, which gives it more of a tree like form. Training a plant involves using supports like trellises or posts, and trimming excess growth to get the shape you want.

Wow! Well there is so much I didn't know about Wisteria,thank you for this very informative in depth video. Really fascinated to learn so much about them,I have always loved wisteria and its beautiful colour, who would have thought they are so deadly, but then many things in nature that are beautiful are deadly. Just liked and subscribed.

@alsaunders7805 3 роки тому

Very common where I live in coastal SC. It will strangle some trees given enough time but it can also act as guy wires and actually help support them during hurricanes (which are common here).

@wullaballoo2642 4 роки тому

That was interesting seeing the seed pods, I have a single chinese wisteria I've trained to grow along the top of a fence but it has never had seed pods, I'm guessing that's because it's a single wisteria with no other plant nearby. It has however sprouted a lot from the base which I always bent upwards up the fence. I've heard people mentioning it can spread with runners, if I stick one of these sprouting jobbies in a plant pot, will it grow into another plant like strawberries do? I'd like a small potted wisteria for the front garden.

I was getting worried about my American wisteria and came across your video. It was the inspiration to pull my 2 year old plant that was just loving it's life. I am so glad I found this video because although my wisteria was blooming and beautiful, as well as very fragrant, the real trouble was going on underground. I pulled out long, long roots that had spread out to my flower beds and it was already trying to make sure I could never take it down from my covered front porch. It took me two days to recover just from battling this plant. In the end I knew I couldn't have possibly got it all so I planted annuals in that spot. Sure enough it popped up several times, including one real large root that somehow had escaped. I couldn't even dig it out. I finally treated it with Dow's RTU548 and I'm pretty sure I got it this time. These plants should come with warnings!

@edi9892 3 роки тому

Wow. I´ve never seen a forest overtaken by another plant like this. The closest thing to it, I saw, was a dead forest covered in cobwebs, from the roots to the branches up. It appeared to be the same insect for every single tree and they were freaking everywhere. It looked like out of a dark fantasy... The other weird forest I´ve seen had all the trees corkscrewing up into the sky similar to the Wisteria but without any support. I have no idea what caused all the trees to grow so unnaturally.

@hamfranky 2 роки тому

It happens with invasive species (e.g. this) or monocultures (e.g. European spruce forests getting chomped by spruce beetles). The former is a human introduced problem, the latter is nature correcting human error.

I fell in love with Wisteria many years ago. I had a job that was particularly difficult at the time and when I would take a Lunch break, I would be able to view this huge in full bloom Wisteria , probably 60 years old. It was amazing to see up close , like being color bombed with in -your-face color !. I had to have one. Mine is now 10 years old. I am just now starting to see some amazing hanging blooms. I learned to cut it way back. I was afraid to do so. But you have to be BOLD with them. You'll be rewarded ! I tried growing one in a huge pot and it died . Not sure why ? I still want to grow a Japanese Maple in a huge Pot and a Wisteria ...side by side. (Not in same pot ! ) Thank you for this Video . I enjoyed it so much . Peace.

Hm, I dont recall seeing any around here. I have seen pedals that look similar. I will keep an eye open for them when my I can take a bike on a trip here. Can't travel any further distance to my planned targets due to partial lockdown. I am sitting in front of my 3D printer right now looking at it closely. I had issues with it all year and finally got around myself to change the nozzle after cleaning my old one didn't work out. It's printing a test piece for a friend right now, but if I get it working well enough - I will continue to model my thermal camera housing(I am done with references and doing my first sketch right now). I spent a lot of time in my garden looking at the birds and bees, might try to get them in thermal or in ultra slow motion for some clips.

Beautiful, fragant killer of everything living it climbs upon. Also, it can destroy fences, chip away stone, upturn pavement, etc. Extremely difficult to contain and practically indestructable. My wife thought they were beautiful and wanted one in the yard. Thirty years later and still trying to eradicate it. I'm still getting upshoots and one even hid really well inside a thick, native cedar till it popped out of the top of the 25 - 30 foot crown!

Great Vid. Theses are beautiful for about 5-6 weeks....only during when they bloom. You dont get to see the blooms much if there is no sun out, as it rains and its cold, then the wind and rain knock off the flowers pretty fast. After years of that happening and I never got to see the flowers much, I cut one real old one down years ago from a small area, but it still keeps sprouting new shoots all around the trunk, no matter what I put on it to kill it, it still grows. This is one plant that is not good to be around other plants, shrubs and small trees.
