I have just bought a Wisteria , its about 7ft tall and quite busy

Any advice on planting and after care would be most appreciated

I know I could look on the net but prefer tried and tested idea methods

Many thanks in advance

I planted mine in the corner at the back of the garage. I fixed 3 trellis
panels to each of the east and south facing walls of the garage. The first 2
years, allow it to cover the target area. Tie were necessary and prune where
it extends outside the t/area.

Dec 2009 prune back to 4 buds. Following month prune back to 2 buds. This
Winter pruning is essential for flower growth. Mines about 7 years old now,

We grow three on the lawn, tied to strong stakes and grown as 'trees'.
