Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me, my wisteria was beautiful and green and flowered a few months ago. I ensured I watered well over the summer, unfortunately it is now looking a little sparse and the leaves are turning yellow

    It isn't evergreen so changing colour and falling leaves are a natural behaviour in autumn, especially after a hot, dry summer.

    Thank you, I have another wisteria which has been established for many years but it has never turnt yellow before, the leaves shed and return in the spring

    It may be hungry too but it's to late to feed it now.  Try giving it a generous dollop of slow release fertiliser next spring when you see signs of buds opening and make sure it is watered if you get a dry spring.

    My two well established wisterias sometimes go yellow and sometimes just get their leaves blasted off by autumn gales.   The younger one has only been in the ground just over a year so no time yet to observe a pattern.

    It's a young plant.  It's had a hard summer.  It will be fine.  (I hope.)

    Thank you for all your replies. I’ll feed in spring I wasn’t sure if it was too late now
