sandi: I am in zone 8 dallas TX Wistaria frutescens (our native) has
brown smooth pods; ripe when dark brown. The Chinese and Japanese
Wistarias have olive-green pods with velvety hairs, hard to tell when they
are ripe. Last year all my frutescens germinated in the pod after a heavy
stormy period, and I did not realise till i went to harvest them in
september. I plan to harvest mine end august this year, and to plant at
once.
The type plant was named after caspar wistar, a noted physiologist of his
time, by nuttall, who unfortunately spelled it wrong, and so by convention
wrong it spelled still is. i think that is a slur on the the real man, and
so am a proselytising casparist.
