TREE WISTERIA - GLORIOUS AS A FEATURE OR A BONSAI

Bolusanthus speciosus Seed

Bolusanthus speciosus, commonly known as the Tree Wisteria, is a stunning flowering tree from Zimbabwe, Swaziland and the northern provinces of South Africa. It is a fast-growing, decorative, small to medium-sized deciduous tree.

The tree is normally multi-stemmed, but it can be pruned to form a single stem. The bark of the stem is brownish grey, rough and deeply fissured. The leaves are yellowish green, bright shiny green above and dull green below. They are spirally arranged, suspended from drooping branches. They drop from the tree for a short period in early spring. The cascading blue-mauve, fragrant, pea-like flowers hang from the branches in bunches, often covering the whole tree. Flowering time is from spring to early summer. 

It is an ideal tree to grace a medium to small garden, as it never grows too big. It can be grown in a container and looks spectacular on any sunny patio. It is a great bonsai subject. Propagation from seed is straightforward.
