Could this be wisteria?

11 years ago

Does anyone know what this vine is? It's deciduous, I've never seen it bloom, and it's in full sun (western exposure). I'm in Orlando, 9B. I thought maybe it was wisteria, and if so, I'm hoping it's the American version. It hasn't grown particularly fast that I can tell, although it looks like it might have been cut back before.

arg! the first picture "no" the second picture "yes" third picture "maybe"....you get the point? I don't know. The growth habit looks very much like a wisteria that my friends grew. Theirs bloomed every year in Tampa. It is probably a different type than I'm used to. Does it sucker? The plant I know does.

Judging by a Google Image search, it may be the Chinese, not the American...

laura - yes, I did see a few shoots coming from the base of the tree one time this summer. Maybe a handful, 4 or 5 at the most.

carolb - Ugh! The previous owner planted so many natives in the yard, so I was hopeful. Oh well...

Thank you both!
