#ProPlantTips for Care

Please take special note of these tips so you get the very best results.

Tree form Blue Chinese Wisteria are fast growing, disease resistant, and are highly drought tolerant once they are established in your yard. Please choose your planting site carefully.

Place them where they'll be noticed. After all, you'll want to reap the glory each spring, and secure your neighborhood reputation as a fantastic gardener with a green thumb.

Go ahead, take all the credit! Be ready for the questions and the praise.

They'll produce the most abundant flowers if you plant them in a spot that gets full sun all day long. If they do get some light shade, they can still thrive for you. The sunnier, the better!

Blue Chinese Wisteria tree form will adapt to just about any kind of soil, but it must be well drained. Check to see if your ground holds puddles after a rain. If so, mound up top soil 18 inches high. You can then dig a hole plant your tree in that mounded up soil for better drainage.

Give your tree plenty of room to grow. If you choose to grow them in a container, just make sure to use a large container with plenty of drainage holes.

Please do baby them a bit when you first get them planted. Water regularly to get your new tree established. After that, it will be drought tolerant.

Also, for the first year or two, you'll want to use a sturdy stake to help it stand up straight. You can imagine how heavy those flowers are! A little support is very appreciated. You'll leave that stake until the main trunk is wide enough to support the whole plant all by itself.

Just add our Arbor Springs kit to your cart and keep it easy for yourself.

Be careful not to use lawn fertilizer near your tree, as too much nitrogen will feed the leaves, not the flowers. Doing so will delay the beautiful blooms.

Blue Chinese Wisteria is a plant that deer seem to leave alone. Keep in mind that deer may sample any plant if food is scarce.

Blue Chinese Wisteria Tree Pruning

Decide on the mature look you want while your tree is young. Short and wide? Oval? Asymmetrical?

You can think of it as deciding on your tree's "hairstyle". Decide how long you want the branches to grow and the style that suits your tree best in your yard. Then, just give it regular trims to keep things nice, tidy and flowering beautifully.

You have a lot of influence on how your plant looks once it's mature just by pruning the tree for shape when it's young.

Pruning is the very best method to help your tree produce flowers, too. The goal is to have plenty of nice, short flowering stems for plenty of spring blooms within the crown of your tree.

The branches will work as a framework to support the spectacular, heavy flowers. Decide which structural branches you'll keep and allow them to grow out and thicken up each season.

In late summer, you'll shape your tree for size and to reinforce that structure.

In late winter, it's time for another "haircut."
