Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple' * Chinese Wisteria

People are drawn to the flowers and the scent.   The plants are a little messy, so I try to keep them back from places that I want to keep clean.  Both flowers and leaves fall in abundance. They are incredibly malleable and can be trained into almost any shape.  They can also get quite large.   There is one in Sierra Madre that covered most of a city block at one time.  I think the most common error with this plant is to undersize the trellis.  It is most challenging to put a new trellis under a slumping vine that weighs hundreds if not thousands of pounds.
