Can someone tell me what a wisteria vine looks like before it gets flowers?

Question

I planted so many plants when i first bought my home 5 years ago,

I planted 2 wisteria vines but don't remember where. I have 40 acers and there so many apple tree so i thought there was an apple tree growing by my back porch. Now im not sure it is growing so fast, does a wisteria look an apple tree?

Answer 1

Wisteria is a "woody" vine.  Meaning that over time it will develop a woody trunk.  However the growing ends will still look like vines, and not too much like an apple tree.  The green tips of the growing Wisteria's branches will usually be long, and somewhat whip-like, possibly twining around anything they can reach.  Not much foliage is clustered at the growing tips.  Wisteria foliage is compound, that is, with a petiole coming off the main stem that holds a number of opposite leaflets.  The foliage can be glossy.  Perhaps you could Google an image that would include leaves?

I've had mine for about 3 1/2 or 4 years never has bloomed.  My neighbor down the street and a 40 foot fence lined with blooming wisteria.  I'm patient though.
