I have acquired a white wisteria which has been allowed to overgrow for

bits should one cut back. I have made a start on the thin suckers growing
from the main stem and the tangles.

I too have a white wisteria it is a venusta, which is very vigerous. I
have just pruned it back to one or two buds. This looks very drastic but it
works well. The long whiplike stems should be pruned back to 3-4 buds in
October and then back to one bud in February.
hope this helps
