hello everyone!
I bought a wisteria - black dragon, last summer, about 40 cm height. At the end of the summer i prunned it, I cut back the new long shoots. since then, the plant stopped at all, no new one shoots or leaves, and now has lost all leaves. I am afraid i have killed it what makes me very sad as it is one of my favorites in my garden and i am really excited to see it blooming over my shed!
any advice?
thx
bruno

Over here in the US, wisteria goes dormant in the winter. Is it possible that is what has happened now? Is this wisteria as in a vine?

ga_girl is right, wisteria here goes dormant in the winter. how old is your wisteria? i am puzzled tho, i cut mine back all through the summer to keep it under control and it seems to grow even more. If you could, take a pic of it so we can see exactly what is happening.
