I have a starter from a Wisteria plant. Will it survive in a half barrel?

Question

I have a 6 ft. T-shaped metal pole (it used to be for a clothes line). I would like to place a wine barrel half beneath it and plant the small wisteria starter (which looks like a small tree) in it. Is it possible for it to survive, climb that pole and continually live in that environment?

Answer 1

The answer to all of your questions is yes, and don't forget to fertilize each year with a good fertilizer. Osmocote 14-14-14, for example. Bettyboop is right about the mature size of the plant. I once saw one that had been let go for a few years, and the vines were a good three inches in diameter. It was planted against the woman's house and had grown under her slate shingles and ripped the trim off of the house. Never put it near a structure, unless you plan to prune it back to a height of four feet every late winter before it begins growing again. An arbor decor is best.

Answer 2

Do you have any idea how very big a wisteria vine gets? You will deifinitely have to trim it back every year to keep it small. Why don't you put it where you can really enjoy it, and watch it run? And it may depend on what is in the half barrel.. You got some GOOOOD mulch and dirt in there? As for the climate, I don't know where you are, but where I am, the cold kills most plants. But I think the wisteria , being a perrenial, will grow back every year. I don't think you CAN kill it, because it will literally TAKE OVER stuff. ALSO, You have to get that starter started. I had one and I eventually killed it from not keeping it wet enough to root. OK, bye.

Answer 3

No, plant desires greater then purely airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dirt and water. The situation which could help even the particularly trouble-free of existence kinds are intense complicated and Mars lacks even the main trouble-free of those situations.
