That said, I always feel envious when I see wisteria in flower. It’s just so stunning. You must have been so galled when the wind took yours.

I love Wisteria I have all sorts and there is a beautiful smelling one as well. I bought all mine when in flower £12.99 from B&Q some of them so I know they will flower and years later they are through the bottom of the pot and massive. I will try and post a picture if get a chance though all the flowers are wind swept ...CB

That was a one off storm Jan, I can't remember the name of it but it was not long after they started naming the UK storms. We had a decent spell of weather for a couple of weeks but has been poor for the past three or so. Sunny at times but almost always a cold wind, better next week it says. It's already been better than the whole of last year though

We left it with just the trunk about a foot above the ground and it did sprout a small new bit of growth but then the following year it came to nothing. When the wind broke it it kind of split all the way down almost. It was held up by a three inch thick post which was also snapped by the wind or perhaps the weight of the plant as it was top heavy with a not very thick trunk |
