When I lived in SC there was a stand of tall tall Pines approx. 60 ft tall that was 132 ft wide and there was Wisteria growing from top to bottom all the way across them. It was a lovely site. No one ever pruned them they grew crazy. The sun was only on them for about 3 hours in the morning. Rest of the day was all shady. Now i am back in Northern Michigan and I have a Wisteria I want to plant and train to climb up some Pines that are primarily in the woods next to my home. How do I train it to climb? Should I wait until it is tall enough and viney enough to reach before I plant it in the ground? Should I place some string around the bottom of the tree and then later carefully remove the string after the Wisteria takes a good hold? Thanks.
