My wisteria took years to finally climb trees and bloom this year. Now they have oodles of seed pods and sprouts along the base that grow 8 feet or more in a few weeks. I can cut them off and turn around and there they are once again - 6 to 8 foot long ground hugging shoots. Love it for its blooms but it may be a monster.

Last photo is of a church we drive by with wisteria all around it. The fragrance is overwhelming when it is this thick with blooms.
