Wisteria floribunda (syn. 'Macrobotrys', 'Naga Noda') 'MULTIJUGA' Japanese wisteria - STANDARD TREE
I believe that this Japanese wisteria is something that not only collectors will be happy about. Have you ever seen a wisteria with racemes longer than 1 meter? And that is on the short side: there is a plant whose flower raceme was worth mentioning in the Guinness Book of Records thanks to 180 cm in length! That is a size of a supermodel! 😊
Its name is Multijuga (formerly Macrobotrys) and usually makes 80-130 cm long racemes of light violet, pea-like flowers with a light-yellow blotch in the throat. The scent is sweet but not strong. Flowers appear on a partially or completely leaved plant. Being late in flowering it always escapes late frosts. Exotic-looking, compound leaves are deciduous, mid green, pinnate, and large.
Wisteria grown as a standard tree needs a strong support for many years before its trunk hardens enough to hold the crown (about 5-6 years from transplanting). Wisterias flower mainly on short spurs along the twigs and pruning will encourage setting of flower buds so cut back long branches to 5-10 cm every spring and also during the season.
It likes acidic, reasonably fertile soil that is moist but well-drained. No fertilizing recommended. Abundant flowering can be achieved by regular pruning – cut back longest shoots several times a year. It needs full sun. Young plants with soft wood can be damaged by harsh winters. Fully hardy to about -29°C (USDA zone 5).
