Wisteria From Seed Jeremy Cantor

“Almost no one grows wisteria from seed,” I told my sons. “This one has a healthy set of leaves so it ought to flower in about ten years.” I’m sixty now. A botany professor showed our class a bamboo plant. He said, “This flowers every forty years. I won’t be here to finish the experiments I might start now. If any of you are planning graduate studies, please see me after class. I’ve got some ideas I’d like to try.” I never thought myself a man of faith yet I grow wisteria from seed while others study bamboo, plant vineyards, grow olives, raise children.
