select one strong looking shoot....keep all others cut back and trim any lower branches as you would a regular tree








also do not place near your house or other structure...the roots can damage foundations and the actual structure of your house..it is best place alone

How do I prune my wisteria vine into a tree?
Wisteria is a genus of about ten species of woody climbing vines native to the eastern United States and the East Asian states of China, Korea, and Japan. The vines climb by twining their entire stems either clockwise or counter-clockwise round any available support. They can climb as high as 20m above ground and spread at least half that far laterally.





Wisteria can grow into an unattractive mound when unsupported, but is at its best when allowed to clamber up a tree, pergola, wall, or other supporting structure. Whatever the case, the support must be very sturdy, because old wisteria can grow into immensely strong and heavy wrist-thick trunks and stems. These will certainly rend latticework, crush thin wooden posts, and can even strangle large trees. Its pendulous racemes are best viewed from below. Wisteria is an aggressive grower which can quickly clog gutters, sometimes invade foundations, and cause other physical damage if not controlled. To avoid many of these problems, wisteria should not be planted near a dwelling.
