I just saw that too. It doesn’t look too comfortable or safe or quiet.
Protest on Front St between Bay and York still. Bay St closed at Lake Shore.

If by too early you're asking if the buds should have broken by now, the answer is no.

In Toronto I would expect Wisteria buds to break open between ~ May 10th to May 20th each year.

It's not too early to look at the total bud count. There are clearly some sections of main vine that are quite healthy looking.

No buds would be expected on those fine wisps at the edges/top.

In point of fact........you're suppose to trim those every winter to promote Wisteria bud and flowering growth......... of course, no one in horticulture appears to have been assigned that task.

Sounds like a call for action to guerrilla garderners?

Gardeners who know what they're doing, sure.

Normally Wisteria (domesticated ones) are pruned twice yealy, mid-summer and winter.

The winter prune is the important one, the summer one is more about futzing, and making the winter prune easier.

You prune away all the wispy bits and take the plant's secondary growth (off the main vine) to 2-3 buds generally. For sure you remove anything with no buds on it. In general, cutting back to less than 3 buds is discouraged as if one bud fails for any reason, you have no flowers on that 'branch'. But if you leave too many buds, the plant tends to flower less, as it has less energy for each bud.
