Yep, those are definitely flower buds, and they should smell good too.My Wisteria is finally going to flower I think. Had it for 8-10 years and never bloomed. These huge buds must be flower buds right? I had read it could take 10-15yrs to bloom. Correct?

They are flower buds. I have them on mine, they are just so slow to open. It’s leafing out and not sure if the energy taken by the leaves will take away from the flowers. Not sure if I should cut back the leaves.My Wisteria is finally going to flower I think. Had it for 8-10 years and never bloomed. These huge buds must be flower buds right?

My bad, I should have said Wisteria can flower from 3-5 year old cuttings and 7+ years from seed.I think it's more like 3-5 years before they bloom.
Both of one's I had would do the same thing, but I never cut back the leaves. Depending on the variety, flowers and some foliage at the same time is not uncommon.It’s leafing out and not sure if the energy taken by the leaves will take away from the flowers. Not sure if I should cut back the leaves.
