In this video I give an overview of the #pruning regime for the wisteria in order to maximise the blossom.
I also provide some useful hints and tips for maintenance.
Be patient, the wisteria can take a few seasons to come into #flower but it's worth the wait. Eventually you will be rewarded with a cascading waterfall of beautiful #nectar filled #blooms which provide a food source for #polinating insects, look amazing and have a beautiful scent.
Prune the wisteria twice a year. The first time prune it back to five #leaf sets, do this approximately one month after the blossom has disappeared and it has produced many #leafy #tendrils. Then in the late winter or very early spring prune the same branches back to two #buds which will encourage many #flowering #spurs.
Make sure you keep a control of the size and scope of your plant because it can become leggy and take over, it is quite invasive when it gets going.

FANTASTIC Video, Mark! Thank you! I have a 2 year old vine that I am training into a wisteria tree. It is JUUUUUST starting to become a little thuggish and I wanted to be sure I was pruning it correctly.
