Wisteria pruning?

I'm back! Can I prune wisteria after it flowers in the spring?

Wisteria pruning?
Hi:


You can prune Wisteria after flowring in the springtime. You can also prune it back in the fall. This is the normal time of year that shrubs are pruned. Make sure you cut at an angle and not straight across. Cutting straight across can damage the branches and limbs. Wisteria is a beautiful plant specimen and easy to grow. We have it growing naturally in zone seven and love the springtime colors. Good luck to you and hope this helps some.





I will link you to the proper pruning page on my website. This will give you some tips on pruning your Wisteria. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find anything else that may be helpful to you in any other landscape adventure. Have a great day!

Reply:You can prune wisteria anytime; it will grow back like some alien creature bent on taking over the planet. And it won't affect the blooming time at all. I've cut it back to almost nothing and had it grow back and bloom again later in the year, but with a much smaller number of blooms. The best method is to keep the vine cut to the size you want, it will still bloom like crazy. This applies to common wisteria, if you have another variety then you better check further.
Reply:Yes, after flowering. Just be careful of any late pruning on substantial branches because next years blooms come from previous years growth. Still, an established Wysteria is pretty hard to mess up in my experience. At worst, you may have one year with less blooms. I believe I saw previously you are on the "Pacific Coast". If you are in northern Oregon/Washington, Ed Hume's website is informative.
Reply:its best to prune before new growth. it will come out fast. trim like you would a rose bush or butterfly bush, leave main branchs.
