    I have a beautiful Wisteria in my front yard that has been planted in a wooden container about 4feet square. It seems to do real good there and I have been able to control it's growth by pruning. This year it was loaded with blooms. However, a lot of the flower buds fell off the stems before they got a chance to open. Can any one tell me why? Is it possibly because of the cool,wet spring we had. The Wisteria makes a beautiful center piece feature with flowers planted around it.

    If there are no other signs of problems, I would wager the weather is to blame. The bees were too cold to go to work.

    Thanks David, I think you're right. I am also having a problem with my tomato plants with Tomato Blossom Drop and I think our weather might be the culprit. I have never had these problems before with them until this year. Thanks again.
