I tried ,growing it from a grafted piece from a mature tree ....it started to grow a 1 inch woody section ...and then just stopped.....I used 'Amend' potting soil mixture....mixed with the soil in my yard......I am wondering because I love the beauty of this tree/vine. Any suggestions for other vine-like plants would also be appreciated (for zone 9-10)

*I would think it would do well in that zone unless of course it needs to have a dormant season. I'm in zone 6 and we do have the dormant season.
Mine is about 31/2 years old hasn't bloomed yet. My neighbor has 60 feet of fence covered in Chinese wisteria, beautiful when in bloom.
Do you have American, Japanes or Chinese Wisteria?
The violet-blue flowers, borne in showy, drooping racemes, are produced in late winter (hardiness zone 8 and 9) to early summer (hardiness zone 6). They cover the plant for several weeks each year.

Japanese Wisteria
Hardiness Zones: 4 to 9

Chinese wisteria is one of the prettiest plants when in bloom. Out of bloom they are another green plant. They grow quite well in zone 9 - 10. May have been the potting mixture or the lack of rootone on the cutting. There are a number of other vines that flourish in the lower zones. I might suggest the beautiful rangoon creeper,cross vine, trumpet vine,lady banksia roses,clematis,moscagnia,there are just too many varieties. From seed you might try the hyacinth bean vine or queen's lace. Good luck and happy gardening.
