Wisteria

Wisteria is native to eastern United States, China, Japan, and Korea. Vines can climb up to 65 feet. They can develop thick trunks that can cause damage to gutters and other structures on homes. Flowers hang loosely in cone-like clusters and can be purple, pink, or white. Seeds appear in pods and are toxic.
