- Go to Tony, wisteria are wondrous & vines entwine.Often these aliens kill natives
Hi Neil--lovely-thanks for explanation! I was having lunch with a friend
today and she said she planted wisteria against one tree-and mimosa against another! The mimosa flourished-yet the wisteria died!I think she grew it against an 'alien' tree?Chris.

Neil, this is most educational for me.
This often happens - a species - often from Asia for some reason - is introduced, and they conquer the domestic species. Other examples are Japanese knotweed, japanese hornets which seem to be destroying some bee colonies, and the American grey squirel, which has taken over from the native red squirrel over here.

Beautiful post, Pun. I love wisteria, but it is true that they need some strong structure upon which to climb. The friend in Phoenix has, for as long as I can remember, a metal lattice structure overhead in the garden and the vines and flowers provide a beautiful shade roof that is magnificent.
