This specie was located in two
places, one being upon the side elevation of a building. The other was
found climbing up a timber truss within a separate garden of the park. It
was obvious that it had been intentionally implemented as the Wisteria Sinesis
was found planted at the base of each individual column of the truss, with
the aim to provide a structure for the specie to climb upon and span across.
This provides the timber truss with a planted form of overhead shelter. When
it's leaves and flowers are present, a colourful spectacular
will benefit the space. It is in a healthy condition, with the soils nutrients
being solely used by the Wisteria with no surrounding competition. Its
wider purpose is to demonstrate a sense of status to the area as
implementing such a plant to the space shows complexity and richness in
elegance.
