Today I found an outstanding wisteria 'Amethyst Falls' at my local Home Depot. I was bored, it was raining, and it was a rest day from packing. It was several vines close together and smothered with flower buds - and best of all, this cultivar is a /native/ plant to the United States so it's neither Japanese or Chinese. Both of which are very invasive here. This one is supposed to bloom much earlier from seed (first year!), does well as cuttings or air layering, and has smaller flower clusters with better color. So I figure it's perfect to train as bonsai.
If you have a bonsai wisteria, will you post photos and share it with us? Or just post a photo of your favorites from online? I can get a photo of mine tomorrow but I will need to think about how I want to train it. I'd love to twist and interlace the vines into more or less a single trunk but I need to think about it. I'd also like to air layer one particularly curly branch piece to train as a shohin or mame. I'd love some ideas and doing a search on 'wistera' on the forums oddly enough didn't bring up much.
