Some kind of peas or beans I would think.

I think I got it. It's Wisteria. Someone told me that he's seen 2 types of seeds, one from Chinese Wisteria and the other one from American wisteria. Chinese W is flat while the American W is rounded.

I looked for wisteria seeds in google and looks like I really do have wisteria seeds. Please see external link below. It's the Wisteria Seedpod.

Here are pictures I took 5 mins ago. I placed the seedpod I harvested against the picture from the link I found.

Looks like it for sure!

:) So is it really wisteria?

By the way, your gardenweb handle is my real name :P

I hope it's a Blue Moon variety. I'll visit the vine in spring so I can check how long the racemes are. :)

Here is a closer shot of the seed

LOL! It's my name too...short for Veronica

From looking at a few pictures of seeds it looks the same to me. Type "American Wisteria seed" into google and the 2nd link will show you a few pictures of the seed. I can't post the link here.

Ok. I was able to talk to the people in the library. Unfortunately, they don't know what vine it is. They only know there's vine there. :(

Looks like I will really have to wait in spring for it to see it. I'm going there this weekend to take a picture of the base and to examine where the runners/suckers go.

I went to the area again today to return the bluray movies I rented from the library. Looks like it is a Chinese Wisteria. It's because the twining is counter clockwise. I also scrutinized the base and the area and I saw suckers about only 1 to 2 ft from the main trunk. So it looks like it's not that aggressive here in our area.

Anyways, Chinese Wisterias doesn't have long racemes. I'm not sure if I still want this vine.

Here are the pictures I took today.

It is likely to be American Wisteria. Wisteria frutescans

Sorry about the link. This should fix it.

I don`t see where I can edit small errors like this.

The correct spelling is wisteria frutescens.
