Wisteria has captured the imagination for many years. The oldest wisteria is 144 years old and is in Japan. It is located in Ashikaga Flower Park and here's the link for the amazing pictures. If you are interested in the biggest wisteria, it is in Sierra Madre California and here's a youtube video of it. It takes up an acre. Lucky Californians as it says its blooming period is 5 weeks. Ours in Niagara is very short - 2 weeks on average, and then the leaves take over and the blooms fade.
We are lucky in Niagara. There are many wisteria - often trained as shrubs. The bottom picture is a shrub version at the corner of my street. The top two pictures are of the White House in Jordan, about 100 feet long - from end to end, and then it goes around the fence as well, so a lot of wisteria to enjoy.
