    The flowers are truly amazing! One day I will have to go to Japan during the Spring. We have an old wisteria tree that we planted in our backyard perhaps 30 years ago. We enjoy its blossoms each spring.

    Thank you for your comments.

    Wisteria is a long-living tree. The wisteria at Kasuga Taisha Shrine is about 700 years old. An about 2000-year-old wisteria in Kyoto blooms in spring every year.
