Our Wisteria is 30years old & suddenly the leaves have turned yellow, dried up & are falling off. It has happened very fast. Seems we are not alone:( I have read about Crow gall bacteria, but is there anything we can do?
I'm in Oregon and my 14-yr-old wisteria 'tree' has suddenly crinkled up and is dying, too. It's been perfect for all this time, with blooms throughout summer.
I can see no evidence of any of the problems mentioned above. What could possibly kill such a healthy plant inside of a week?
After 20yrs part of our lovely Wisteria that covered the front of our cottage, slowly started to die off. We checked it for blight and scale but it seemed fine. The other side of the 'plant' leafed up this year but didn't flower and now that also looks very poorly. Out gardening last week, my Husband happen to lean on one of the branches and it just crumbled....it was totally rotten and inside the dried out branch were two white grubs (alive). We tried other branches and they were exactly the same, all contained these white grubs. We heard a report last year, mainly occuring in London and the South of England, concerning a 'sap sucking bug' that attacks and kills Wisteria's, has anyone else heard of this.? We have now had to cut the whole Wisteria down and burn all the branches, such a shame.
Hello from Australia. I live in the colder parts in the Australian alps and we have coldish winters and unbearably hot nasty summers 90 C up to 110C. I have a three /four year old Japanese wisteria florabunda which is on the back fence and is thriving and flowered in full for the first time this spring ( sping now for us ) the blooms were lovely and the smell just heavenly. . last sping, I planted a Japanese senensis on the side fence which is shady .. its a little plant but it was growing well now some of the leaves are turning light brown and the growth seems to be retarded... this little one is pathetic, its only one year old but the growth is also pathetic.. oh yes, our winter just past was a deluge, we had inches and inches of rain with only a couple of frosts its been raining buckets this spring and were now just into 26C - 32 C weather which will get hotter as the days go by. The leaves havent crumpled up , they are soft and brown, not all, but it does look like it might kick the bucket. Luckily the Japanese florabunda is amazing , the neighbour has a thing for chopping back anything hanging over her side of the fence so I hope her hacking at it wont kill it. . my side its flourishing of course. It was beautiful to see many flowers for the first time this year. The sinsenis * spelling* is the worry .. its only young though, I am wondering why it even had two long blooms when its only about 12 months old.. maybe even not even 12 months old, any info will be appreciated.
I forgot to mention that our spring has been 'tropical' we have been getting lots of hot tropcial rain from northern Australia, the humidity and warm rain has made the garden' go off' it looks like a jungle, I am wondering whether this rain and humidity has made the little wisteria go brown -ish .. the other one is thriving. The rain was out of control. Thanks.

I have a 12 year old wisteria which did not flower for the first 6 years. However, once it started flowering we were treated to two bursts of flowers one in June and then a further flourish in August/September. Now this year there is no sign of life. Not a leaf, bud or anything. We did have an extremely cold winter and I wonder if this is the reason although the wisteria is on the side of the garage so protected from the elements. Should I remove the wisteria which has a 9inch diameter trunk or do you think it may come back? Your advice would be most welcome as I am so sorry to have lost such a spectacular plant.
I have a fifty year old wisteria covering the front of my house with three separate trees. The left hand one has developed a withering and curling of the leaves after it flowered though the leaves are still green. The other two trees still look normal and all three tres, as far as I can see are still putting out the new tendrils typical of this time of the year. I will search for the small exploding bug and report back.
