Wisteria help!

[WipsGlitter]

I have managed to grow a wisteria but I think o should have removed the bamboo support and attached it to the fence better.

Should I remove the bamboo and get some proper trellis for it?

Anyone?

First decide where you want it to grow. Then fix a support in place. Doesn’t have to be trellis, wires fixed to the fence supports will do. After that disentangle as much as you can without breaking the stems, cut the bamboo out if you have to. Tie the stems to the new support, spreading them out. Take away your nice metal support before it becomes engulfed.

Thank you so much!!

Use strong wire for the support as wisteria stems get very strong and woody over time. It will take a few years to really get going as well and may not flower for a few years but dont give up.

Can I add a wisteria question? One has become apparent in my new garden, right at the front of a flower bed, about 3/4 of a meter from the fence. Which seems like a mad spot to plant one! It's still young and whippy, what on earth should I do re supports???

messy does it look as if it was planted there and you’ve only just noticed it? Or is there a wisteria in your neighbours garden on the other side of the fence? If the latter, it’s likely to be a sucker from their plant. Then it gets complicated because if theirs is a grafted plant, the rootstock which has escaped under the fence is unlikely to be a desirable garden form, and may well produce a jungle of leaves with few flowers. Ask your neighbours, gardeners are a friendly bunch

No, definitely not from next door- that corner of the garden has roads on both sides. It could have been accidentally cut down before our time, so regrowing from the rootstock, conceivably?

You have several choices:
Dig it out and get rid of it
Dig it up and replant somewhere else
Train the whippy shoots back towards the fence and tie in to a suitable support

Hmmm, I am expecting builders in clod hopping boots to rebuild my fence shortly, so moving it, with a strategic holiday in a pot. might be the solution. Although I'd probably just be putting it straight back in that corner, just closer to the fence!
