We purchased the Ivory Tower wisteria approximately 15-20 years ago and trained it to tree form, staking it with a strong timber until recently. It's been moved a number of times. Sucker shoots are dug up and shared with others, and new plants have been started from seed. Ivory Tower contrasts nicely with the common lavender or purple wisterias blooming from pine treetops here in Summerville SC. Springtime is glorious here, with wisteria, white dogwood, and every color of azalea imaginable blooming at the same time.
