This year I've noticed a "sucker" starting to grow from the Wisteria
rootstock.

Normally I would just rub it out, but I am wondering what the rootstock
for this Wisteria is?

Any harm in growing it on enough to see if it will flower eventually?
Keeping it checked so it doesn't take over, of course.

Cheers

I allowed one to grow on from one of my standard Wisterias across to an adjacent fence. Flowered within a year or so and mother and baby doing well ! Pete

Yes, but how old was the rootstock.

Hi Bob, About 35 yrs of age (:-) Sucker was a yearling from about four years ago! All three- just starting to bloom - I have two standards of the same age.
