Wisterias with long flower racemes are best admired on structures where they can hang free, unimpeded by branches or foliage. For the best flowers, reduce the number of racemes by thinning out to give those that remain plenty of space to develop. Wisteria can be trained to grow up into the canopy of a small tree, but to the possible detriment of the tree.
Growing into large trees can make pruning of the wisteria difficult, and flowering may be affected if the leaf canopy is dense. If you choose to grow into a tree, plant the wisteria on the south side of the tree, 1m 3ft away from the trunk. See our page on frequently asked questions on wisteria problems.

Cut back new growth and main branches to just two or three buds to keep the plant neat, tidy and ready for the forthcoming growing period.
Hard pruning may be required if there are dead stems to deal with, or particularly woody areas of the vine causing gaps in the foliage and flowering. In this case, cut back to the first healthy stem you come to. When flowering has ceased, this is the time to untangle and reduce the amount of new growth. Mid Summer pruning controls the Wisteria and creates a strong plant that may even flower for the second time in the early Autumn. Start at ground level and remove any unwanted growth at the base of the vine.
This will give strength to the main stem and concentrate the plant's energies into its core. Whippy side shoots should then be cut back to no more than 5 buds. This will control the size of your Wisteria and prevent it from getting out of hand and tangled. If a second flush of blooms appears, you will need to prune the Wisteria again when they finish retaining control of the vine's growth.
