Wisteria Seed Pods: Remove, Propagate by Layering Instead

Wisteria on fence has seed pods for 2 months. Pick now? Remove seeds? How to grow more?

Seed Pods

• Remove them so plant puts energy into next year's flowers.
• Seeds take 10–15 YEARS to flower. Not practical.

Best Propagation: Layering

1. Bend low shoot to ground.
2. Make shallow trench (4–6″ long, 1″ deep).
3. Lay shoot in trench, pin at both ends, cover with soil.
4. By next summer: roots formed at burial point.
5. Sever from parent, dig up, replant where desired.

Still slow to flower, but faster than seed. Patience required either way.
