Field Notes
Description:
Japanese Wisteria tree spotted in the Ashikaga Flower Park, in Tochigi, Japan. The second photo is of the tree at dusk, after they turned on some lights to illuminate it during the annual Wisteria Festival.
Notes:
Japanese wisteria can grow over 30m long over many supports via powerful clockwise-twining stems. The foliage consists of shiny, dark-green, pinnately compound leaves 10–30 cm in length. The leaves bear 9-13 oblong leaflets that are each 2–6 cm long. It also bears numerous poisonous, brown, velvety, bean-like seed pods 5–10 cm long that mature in summer and persist until winter. Japanese wisteria prefers moist soils and full sun in USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9.[3] The plant often lives over fifty years.
