to encourage the flowering spurs and buds to grow.

Global warming has meant that our wisteria has not come into open flower
for 8 years now: every year it comes into bud much too early, and then
we have a frost and that's it
Just a couple of miles away they seem to bud a bit later and the flowers
are magnificent. I have wondered whether there might be some way to
prune it to delay bud formation somehow?
