Make that 10 years, if then. So plan on being VERY patient. ;-

I know that experiences vary on this and to say "10 years, if then" is only
going to discourage people who may have a better experience than you.

I happen to have a Wisteria sinensis that I started from seed and it had its
first bloom at 6 inches tall and a grand old age of 5 years old. Last year
it turned 6 and bloomed once in the spring and once in the late summer. I
have kept the pot small and this seems to work very well.

yes teher are two things with winsteria
to keep the roots *in small* containers and thirsty it a little
before blooming season I had one
grafted many years ago and I do not remember what I did with :-) but I
kept for 2 years and than got bored

Because of this,
I have not had to prune it AT ALL and it is forming a nice windswept style
at this point at about 8 inches tall with three well places branches. I am
very excited about the future of this plant and encourage ANYONE to try
Wisteria from seed.
