    About a year or so ago I took on a new garden which has wisteria climbing up the house gable wall - no flowers in 2008 and the occupier cant ever remember seeing any - its quite mature with plenty of foliage. appreciate any input that would shed light on why it doesnt flower....

    The problem with wisteria is that they can take up to 7 years to flower and even then they might not...there very fussy about the way there treated:skp: I've included a few links below where other people have asked similar questions to you, so I hope you find the info your after:flwsml:

    Also can you see any scarring at the bottom of the plants main stem at all? as that would give some indication to it being grafted (which is better)

    As soon as the plant starts into growth next year, give it a weekly feed with tomato food.:thumb:
