Nice tune and also,
Never ever put a Wysteria near your home or any other wooden structure, it will devour it in short order, tentacles will get up under shake shingles siding and everywhere else.

I had 2 over 50 years old,White and Purple in an Oak tree that they strangled

That was a nice video, showing a family outing in the woods.
The host put more plants and flowers into his mouth than his sons did. Part of his nature to investigate, I suppose.

I never knew the coiling differences;
a Chinese or American Wisteria will coil up a tree in a counter-clock-wise direction.
Whereas a Japanese Wisteria will coil up a tree in a clock-wise direction.

More wisteria than a Faulkner novel. Is that even possible?

My son lives in Sierra madre, California. The largest blooming plant in the world is there, a wisteria.

Growing up, the family had a Wisteria arbor with step leading down to the rose garden (all gone now). Very pretty, but what I remember most is that during the night at a certain time of the year, the pods would burst open with a crack that sounded like a pistol shots and wake me up.

The Lady Banks rose in Tombstone, Arizona could give this wysteria a run for its money.

Wisteria is just Kudzu with pretty flowers. ;-)

Seriously, Carowinds Theme Park had a long, tunnel-like arbor of wisteria with water-misters attached underneath. On a hot day at the park, people would walk back and forth thru the “cave”, under the very cooling canopy. Best “ride” at the park!
