"Standard" Wisteria Tree
We have 2 "standard" wisteria trees which are in their second flowering -
although neither 1st nor 2nd have been particularly spectacular. I suspect they need a severe pruning - so any advice please on best time and how Thanks Jeanne |

I suspect they need a severe pruning - so any advice please on best time and how I've always thought the first should be spectacular, the second a bonus. Nip any long growths back now to about 3 or 4 leaf joints from the main stem to keep the plants trim. In winter, and I do it as soon as the leaves have fallen, cut all extended/new growth back to 2 buds. If you leave this too late you will not get a good flowering IME. Eventually, after a few years, the plant will look a bit like it's covered in stags antlers, these being the "fruiting spurs" or flowering ones in this case. -- Regards Bob Hobden |
