This is Japan's oldest and largest wisteria, and has been cultivated by generations of gardeners. Japanese wisteria (wisteria floribunda) is a woody, flowering vine that is known as 'fuji' in Japan.
I had some wisteria climbing a fence on my property that I pruned back too aggressively one year. Last month, I caught a whiff of wisteria fragrance in that area. When I looked up into the trees, I noticed the vine was still alive, and had wrapped itself in the upper branches of an elm tree. So now I have a "wisteria tree."
