Whats wrong with my Wisteria?
Normally it’s easy to see where the flower buds will be sprouting from, though I would check 2 things – stem flexibility, and scraping a little of the bark from a couple of shoots. If you notice that the outer stems are very rigid, then try cutting a little off, and taking a look at it, to see whether it is totally brown and dried out, indicating that this part of your Wisteria has died back. You can also scrape a little of the bark covering off from stems, and seeing whether there is any moist green tissue there, which would be an indication of health, and just a potentially late start to the season. If there seems to be major die-back, I would prune much of the dead stems away, which will allow light and warmth to reach other parts of your plant. It’s very possible that your plant is still alive, though not at the youngest growth parts, just on some older parts – where it could re-sprout from, so I wouldn’t rush to give up on it, giving it the summer to see how it does.
