Wisteria Cuttings?

I am growing some Wisteria from seed, and I know that they will not bloom for years, but I wish to know that if I take cuttings from these particular plants, will the cuttings take years to bloom also?

Wisteria Cuttings?
Wisteria is one of the easiest things in the world to grow! Take a decent size branch off your plant, make a slit in the bottom and stick it in the ground or in potting soil. If your plants are in the ground, check around them, there may already be new plants coming up! The cuttings should bloom quickly!
Reply:It depends on the variety of wisteria you have planted, but cuttings from an already blooming wisteria should bloom within a year or two. A new one grown from seed can take as long as 15 years before it starts blooming. Take the largest cutting you can, because you'll have faster blooms that way. Also, pruning after it blooms will encourage more blooms that same year. You'll get an explosion of color for about 2 weeks - typical for wisterias. Afterwards, some light pruning can lead to a few splashes of color until it goes dormant. This also helps keep the plant from taking over. It can grow 15 feet a year!
Reply:The cuttings will begin to bloom the year after rooting them. The reason for this is that you will have cloned a mother plant that was already producing flower buds. Most greenhouses use cuttings for this very reason.


Some annuals can be cloned in a few days to a few weeks and will begin to bloom immediately.
Reply:Yes,
Reply:ok if you have a blooming wisteria it has been budded and the cutting will bloom before the ones that come up from seed which will only be seedlings and will have to be budded i work in a nursery in tennessee
Reply:It will take a couple of years for the cuttings to bloom unless the cutting is a large one (3 feet or more) Since an established plant costs about 8 dollars, why not get one you can enjoy now? Have a great spring.
