In reply to Si Namlitude. I wish I could help, but I'm afraid I don't know if wisteria would be OK under water for that long

How well does wisteria tolerate being drowned on a river bank? I’m looking for something aggressive with a deep root structure, but it must be able to survive underwater for sometimes two or three months.

In reply to Carol Allen. My wister is cut it back and new growths too much I have . New growth from a rotten looking stem but still grows new branches. They can be problematic

In reply to Michelle. Yes, it's true. After a hard pruning (like yours was, to the ground), it will take a few years for it to bloom again.

We purchased a house in East Texas last year and I discovered this summer that the two tree stumps were wisterias (about 4 inches wide). The previous owner cut down ALL the fruit, nut and flowering trees around the house. Anyway, both stumps have vines coming from them. My neighbor said I could braid the vines together and install some kind of sturdy support for them. And in a few years have a beautiful blooming wisteria tree / vine. Is this true?

In reply to Dee. @Dee, I planted my wisteria 15 years ago. The first year it had very few blossoms (I didn't trim it). The second year, same. The third through 15th year vines, no blossoms. I hired someone to paint the exterior of my home. He cut this lovely vine covering the back and the side of my home down to a three foot nub (the trunk seriously mangled/chopped, I thought dead). I couldn't speak and went inside believing I might just strangle him! The next year, WOW! Now I need an iron trellis to let it's glory shine.

In reply to Michael Clemons. @Allison, I just grew 2 wisterias from seeds, and bought 2 already grown in pots. I'm planning to bonsai. I cannot grow wisteria on ground because I have a small garden. Thanks for the info.

In reply to Kathryn Hintz. If the wisteria is close to the pool, sadly, it's very possible that it will damage it.
