Tom: If it's growing like a weed, it may be getting too much
fertilizer. Wisteria won't bloom with too much nitrogen. They
also like to be rather pot bound, so you won't get blooms for a
while after repotting. Another thing which helps is pruning it
back in late summer.

Hi Folks:
I have a Wisteria that won't bloom. It is about 8 years old,
with a
trunk caliper of 1 inch. It seems healthy and grows like a weed.
(Without bloom, that's what it is). It has only bloomed just
once,
about 3 years ago, and nothing since. I've tried about
everything and
anything to get it to bloom, with no luck.

I'm open to any suggestions. Is there anything I can do this
winter/spring to force it, or is it too late for this year?
TIA, Tom Pillichody
