Talk:Wisteria sinensis

Requested Move
A request was made to move this article to the scientific name. This request was not fulfilled due to a lack of discussion, and therefore a lack of consensus for it. Rob Church Talk 12:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

-- In response to the above poster asking about the invasive status of Wisteria Sinensis: I believe it is only considered invasive in Florida and parts of the extreme Southeast such as lower Georgia. In most areas of the South and the Eastern seaboard it is extremely hardy, but is not to the point of invasiveness or harming the environment. Though you may see it wrapped around dozens of trees and shading smaller plants in thickets, it requires several years to even become established and, in most cases, decades to reach that level of growth and size. It is also much easier to remove than its substantially more evil cousin, Puerara Montana... Or as most people know it, Kudzu. I hope that answers your question.

invasive
Q. I have heard that this plant is invasive in parts of the US. Needed info?

re: In response to the above inquiry for information about Wisteria sinensis' statust as an invasive exotic species;

The University of Georgia, Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health, is a clearinghouse for such information. ( http://www.invasive.org/ )

This link should provide a place to start; http://www.invasive.org/browse/subinfo.cfm?sub=3083.

By any metric you care to apply, Wisteria sinensis (And the Japanese Wisteria floribunda.) is an invasive exotic species wherever it has become established. (Ice9baby (talk) 23:41, 9 December 2012 (UTC))
