Belmont Nursery has developed several region specific, trees and plants that we specialize in. These specialties are the result of years of experience in propagating and nurturing some of the best plant varieties available. Our ornamentals are well known by central valley landscapers and gardening professionals.

	Keith Davey Pistache An improved variety of the Chinese Pistache. Buy direct from the grower the famed Keith Davey Pistache. Renowned for brilliant fall color, this grafted male produces no seeds. Moderate grower 25-40 in height, 25-35 in width
	Cupressus Sempervirens Totem For that beautiful tuscan accent without the enormous size of the traditional Italian Cypress choose the "Totem". A slower grower that tops out at only 25 feet tall and 2 feet wide and is easily kept to a shorter height.
	Cupressus Leylandii Taft's Golden This evergreen conifer changes to bright golden yellow as the cold weather comes returning to green with summer. Citrus scent.
	Lagerstroemia (Crape Myrtle) Dynamite Red is one of the new favorites in Crape Myrtles. Dynamite (and Red Rocket) is certainly one of the best reds. Belmont Nursery is one of the largest growers of Crape Myrtles around. Check out our selection.
	Ginkgo Biloba Presidential Gold An improved male variety of the species, this Ginkgo produces no fruit. It has incredible yellow fall color. This variety also has a beautiful form even on the less mature specimens. A sure winner.

Wisteria

There are several interesting species of Wisteria. Perhaps the two most common being Chinese (Wisteria sinensis) and Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda).

Both are very cold hardy and exceptionally fast growing vines with lovely long clusters of sweet-pea like blooms. Wisteria can grow in poor soil but, like most plants, it prefers a rich well drained soil.

The Wisteria has a strong and twisting truck and branches. It needs a strong support on which to grow. It can lay waste to a weak trellis. Wisteria roots will be strong and deeply penetrating. Give it the room it demands and you will be thrilled with an elegant show of color each spring. Don’t’ be afraid to prune it back hard in winter as it responds with ample bloom that appears on new wood.

Wisteria sinensis ‘Cooke’s Special’often responds with a second bloom in summer after a hard pruning.

Interestingly enough, Chinese Wisteria will twist and grow in a clockwise direction as opposed to its cousin, Japanese Wisteria, which will twist counter clockwise.

Wisteria grown from seed will take 10-15 years to mature enough to bloom. Buy grafted plants to assure early bloom.

In addition to a viable and mature grafted plant; several factors will help to ensure proper blooming of your Wisteria. Avoid fertilizing with high Nitrogen before the bloom in spring. Most Wisterias will grow fast enough that a nitrogen boost isn’t necessary. Added bloom booster type fertilizer high in phosphate applied mid-summer. Add plenty of sunshine and your Wisteria will be the envy of the neighborhood.

Be sure to ask us about our many varieties in both vines and tree forms.
