Is anyone else growing Wisterias as standards? We have one on the big

to make a three or four spoked frame and trail branches over that, thus
forcing a broader crown eventually. What does the panel think?

The two in our garden have been grown on the platted stem system.
There is a thin metal stake at the core of the plat.
One has become a bit leany over but the one shown here is super.
I guess they are about 12 yr old.
