Part 1 of 10 I think.
I went ahead and caved in, buying a Wisteria, the “Lawrence”. The Hamilton Horicultural Society in Ontario, Canada swears by them, and claim they bloom withing 2 years. 
As well, they are apparently not “Rampant”. But enough about that, I will write up on my Wisteria later.
For now, I’ve been on the lookout something to hang this great plant on. In my previous post, I wrote about some books that discuss trellising for heavy plants like, …well, Wisteria. Well I found a great site that talks in detail about Wire Trellising. The good news is they have lots of instructions, and pictures on how to put them up, and what they look like.
The bad news, these bad boys are expensive, and the company is based out of England. But whatever, a good start for now. I’ll keep looking and post up what I find much later:
Wall Trellis Business
- First a link to the site: S3 Stainless Steel Solutions
- Secondly, a link to a page with Wire Trellis Install Instructions: Install Instructions
- Lastly, a page providing pricing for wire trellis hardware: Pricing (There’s an option to see prices in US$, so select that)
The Equipment
Ok – so some of this stuff, you can buy locally. The obvious stuff are the tools. Amazon carries them here:
Felco Wire Cutters: Cheapo Variety is not going to do it. Need some heavy duty ones. You can probably pick these up at your local hardware store.
Some Books that talk about Wire Trellises.
1. 
Planting Green Roofs and Living Walls – I’ve spoken of this book before. If you own a Wisteria, and are running it up a wall, you need to read this book. It speaks heavily about heavy trellising required for Wisteria. Great ideas, but no “Step by Step” guides.
