IT will be autumn before they are ripe. Wisteria tyopically will hold the pods through the winter. So there is no rush in collecting them.

How long will it take a wisteria to bloom from seed? I started one early this spring and it is about a foot high now. I moved it out to my garden. I know it will be a good while before it blooms (its a slow grower compared to my other plants) but I've heard it can take up to 15 years for it to bloom.
