Wisteria Cuttings

[size6feet]

I have a big wisteria that flowers every year. I always thought cuttings were very hard to do? Can anyone tell me how to do it please.

Pulling up a chair to listen to the answers on this one....

I'm also interested in this as we have a beautiful wisteria in current (rented) house, which we may want to take with us when we do eventually move.

this link should tell you all you need to know.
I tried taking softwood cuttings last year, but non survived. Undeterred, I'm trying again this year!

Thanks Lost, can you tell me if you used a hormone rooting powder?

We have tried taking cuttings from a number of different plants and shrubs, some work, some don't, but the books often suggest a hormone powder, which I've never used.

What's your opinion?

LostArt, thank you for the link. I think I will have a go at layering a few of the lower shoots. I have a picture on my profile of my wisteria. Its never been fed but is on clay soil.

Glacierchick, give the hormone rooting powder a go - it may work this time for you.

size6feet that is a beautiful wisteria. I'm . I planted tomatoes near mine last year and as a result overfed the wisteria so it didn't have many flowers this year. I've heard that they bloom well in poor soil with no feeding, so I did the wrong thing there.

GC I think I did used rooting powder, but some people don't think it's necessary. I (usually!) get better results when I do.
