2nd year wisteria pruning
 

Looked at a few books but still need some advice. My 2nd year wisteria is
about 8 foot now, and growing well on a single strand. It is about the point
where I want to train it two ways horizontally along a wall. Should I prune
it now ?, how do I get it to form into two growing shoots, or should I wait
? help needed.

I was told by a clematis grower that you should prune twice a year first in
February down to one or two buds and again in October down to 3-4 buds. I
have one growing on a catenary and I just bent one of the shoots off in one
direction and didn't prune it back and put the leader on a wire in the other
direction again didn't prune until it reached where I wanted it. It is a
wisteria venusta which is very vigorous. Hope this helps
