Hi,
I am wondering if i have planted this wisteria at the correct depth. I
heard that you need to have the graft about 2 inches above the soil, but
i can't tell which bit is the graft. Ive attached a pic of how ive
planted it, does this look right to you?
Thanks

The knob just above the soil appears to be a graft.
Two warnings about wisteria:
1. They require soil that drains well. They appreciate moist soil but
not soggy soil.
2. Once established, they can be quite vigorous. See

wisteria that actually destroyed a house.
