Wow, I've never heard of that one before. I had to google it. So it's from China. China has a summer monsoon season. Some Chinese plants are very drought tolerant for us, but most of them really aren't - they prefer lots of summer water, and usually moisture-retentive soil - and one doesn't want to assume something about a new plant until it has been tested more extensively under a variety of conditions. So I guess my advice is, if you move it into a hot sunny spot, just keep it really well watered and mulched! And we'll probably have more hot weather later - if you could wait a couple months to move it, that might be safer.

Cut back the wisteria, move the shrub in fall. If hardiness might be questionable, move in spring. Avoid moving when there is much soft new growth.

also, i would wait till friday night. looking at the forecast, its high 80's low 90's till saturday.

I have two of them in my parking strip. They made it through last winter with flying colors (Pittosporum garnettii died back to a foot high, Wheeler's Dwarf was fine) and bloomed well this spring, wonderfully fragrant and wafting. I remember a little tip damage in the first years when they were young. I'm treating them as sheared hedge shapes. I also have a Pittosporum heterophyllum out there that is doing as well, although it wants to be a lot larger than the narrow strip it's on. I watered for the first couple years, last and this year they aren't getting watered and they are fine. I am facing west, so hot in the afternoon.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Albertine - do you have a picture of what yours look like? Mine has so much space between the branches that I'm having difficulty imagining it pruned, plus, it has a nice natural woodsy shape at the moment.

Again, thanks! And I think I will just tame the wisteria and wait a couple of months.

Looks familiar, I think I've seen it at a local outlet or two. Did you buy it at a garden center?

I don't have a photo, but I can say that they started out quite leggy. I have no experience with hedge culture - I just started pruning them into the perimeter of the shape I wanted, and now in their 4th year they are pretty filled in. The heterophyllum filled in sooner.
