Nature Hills boasts that the Blue Chinese Wisteria tree is their best-selling product. As a former marketing consultant for them, I can confirm that statement is accurate. Our order was made last spring for a 3-gallon size container. Last we checked (3/21/2019), Nature Hills was only selling a 4 to 5 foot bare root Blue […]
