This will slow the flow of sap down and encourage more flower buds. If you allow your wisteria to go straight up forever you’ll get a few flowers at the very top. You can also coil new leaders round a support - again to slow up the flow of sap - before training them horizontally. This is a good technique on a strong pergola. Pruning wisteria Of course, if the support structure itself is trellis-like or has horizontal or vertical bars, then a Wisteria will have no trouble from the get-go as it will twine and coil around its elements. When & Where To Train Wisteria I space horizontal wires on either side of the main ‘trunk’ at 30cm intervals up the surface, such as a wall, fence or the sides of a pergola. Another way of telling is that Chinese wisterias produce flowers on bare wood, whilst Japanese wisterias have leaves and flowers at the same time.
A wire rope cutter is supplied with our kits, this gives you the full flexibility to measure and cut to size Although you can use any wire for these robust vines, it is best to use smooth, PVC-coated or vinyl-coated wire. If they resist, make some cuts with the secateurs. Make sure the graft union (the bumpy bit ) is above the ground. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide and top up with compost. Place your root ball in the hole - the top of the pot should be level with the top of the soil when you’ve finished.

The 'Green Wall' trellis system is made up of a stainless steel 'hub' that allows the crossing and partial stressing and tensioning of cables to create a pattern of trellis sections. Ideal for Clematis and wisteria, for supporting raspberries and runner beans in the vegetable garden, and even for creating a framework for vines.
