My 5 year old Chinese Wisteria is confined in a wishkey barrel, last fall it rewarded me with a few 'flowering-chains" This coming spring I've noticed more promising flower buds. I just purchased 2 more of these jewels, though they appear smaller (trunks), but lots of flower buds are already present. May try my hand on a 'bonsai' specimen. Outdoor temp. remains in the 20's (Farenheit), so I moved these small new containers indoor to avoid frost damage to the new flowering buds.
