Is there some sort of posting FAQ for this group? I
have posted only a couple of times, but everything
I've posted gets a non-informative answer like this
one, or there is no response at all. Am I posting the
questions incorrectly Is there another group I should
be posting to?

This is a group of amateur gardeners, for the most part, and people
post with their opinions and experience, which is what Gary did.
Take it in the spirit it's intended.

As for wisteria, I don't know. Mine is growing at a snail's pace.

| Hi all -- OK, I searched the group archives on
| wisteria and can't find an answer to my question,
so
| here it is:
|
| I have a purple wisteria that I planted next to a
dead
| tree in my front yard last Spring - I'm planning
to
| train it up the trunk. It gets full sun all day
| (pruned all the big branches off the tree), and it
did
| spectacularly well last year. It even bloomed in
| April! I pruned it in September and now it seems
very
| unhappy. The new leaves that have come in since
| pruning are light green and now are starting to
turn
| brown. I gave it some ironite, thinking the light
| green leaves were indicating an iron deficiency --
the
| soil in our front yard is nice and organic down to
| about 8-10 inches, when it turns to caliche, but I
| didn't think this was a huge problem for Wisteria.
| I'm wondering if it's just in the process of
losing
| it's leaves for the winter and I'm worrying for
| nothing. Should I mulch it for the winter?
Fertilize?
| If so, with what? Help!!
|
| Thanks -- M9
