Default Wisteria leaf colour fading through the season

Hi,

I freely admit I have been neglectful - not pruning the Wisteria to keep it
on the straight (or fairly twisty) and narrow.

However it started the year with dark green foliage.
As the year progresses the foliage is getting lighter and lighter and now is
mainly pale yellow/green, although the Wisteria is still growing fairly
strongly.

I would put it down to lack of nutrients, but when on holiday in France a
few years back there was a Wisteria in the yard of the Gite which showed
similar symptoms, and giving it a liquid feed or two didn't seem to make any
difference.

So is this a natural thing, perhaps easing back on the chlorophyl as the sun
gets stronger, or should I feed the poor thing with massive amounts of food
to get it green again?

Cheers
Dave R
