Such a lovely lovely flowering vine! Fabaceae Leguminosae is found in the entire southeast. It flowers and multiplies from one tree to another! It can get up to 40ft in height. The smell is so sweet and nice, but too much of a good thing is called noxious!
Thank individuals from 1816 which brought this wisteria into the United States from China for ornamental purposes either way. This plant is in the same classification as Kudzu which is also in the family of the legume. The plant produces seedlings like the peanut, kudzu. Chinese Wisteria can also kill trees if you are trying to grow figs or any other fruitful plant. If you like this vine and want it to crawl, fine, but be warned.
If you are an anole hater such as I, be for-warned that anoles love vines. An anole is a small southeastern lizard that eats insects and likes to jump on things. If you ever heard of the "phrase" "Leaping Lizards!"! Ah, you don't like them either? Cut the wisteria down. China, Korea, and Japan are full of reptiles like snakes, lizards and the heebie-jeebies!
Make it a tree, if you like perhaps wisteria, there are individuals that will sell you trees. There is a nursery and catalogs everywhere. Also, little green snakes love Chinese wisteria, they are a delicacy to your cat, so they might decide to bring it into your house if you like the creeping qualities of this vine. I have the heebie-jeebies now!
