From the base, it develops numerous stems that become woody with age and can reach lengths of 15-25 meters.\r\nInitially, the stems are herbaceous, soft, and flexible, but as they become woody over time, they turn gnarled and twisted. The root system is strong, with many long, vine-like roots extending several meters.\r\nThe branches tend to twist around a support in a counterclockwise direction."}},{"dettaglio":{"immagine":"https:\/\/villamiralfiore.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/partic_fiore_W_Sinesis.webp","descrizione":"The bloom is undoubtedly the defining feature that has made wisteria famous worldwide.
