  • How to #prune a #wisteria. Both winter and summer pruning for maximum #blossom
    Please visit my website and Garden Shop here: www.marksgardenuk.com/
    In this video I give an overview of the #pruning regime for the wisteria in order to maximise the blossom.
    I also provide some useful hints and tips for maintenance.
    Be patient, the wisteria can take a few seasons to come into #flower but it's worth the wait. Eventually you will be rewarded with a cascading waterfall of beautiful #nectar filled #blooms which provide a food source for #polinating insects, look amazing and have a beautiful scent.
    Prune the wisteria twice a year. The first time prune it back to five #leaf sets, do this approximately one month after the blossom has disappeared and it has produced many #leafy #tendrils. Then in the late winter or very early spring prune the same branches back to two #buds which will encourage many #flowering #spurs.
    Make sure you keep a control of the size and scope of your plant because it can become leggy and take over, it is quite invasive when it gets going.

    This is my first time having Wisteria. She's about 10-15 years old but I only moved in last year. I pruned her WAAAAY back, down to sticks in January 2021 and she did bloom a bit, but not a lot.... then she got really bushy and green (she's on an arbor trellis, lovely) but I didn't know to prune back in August or after the bloom until I watched your video! So her leaves all fell off in January and just now got around to pruning. But what I read last year was to cut waaaay back to the woody sticks... and I did that once again. There were pods or what looked like blooms but I cut all that back ... as I didn't prune in August. I will have to set up a reminder to prune back after blooming this year (hopefully, I didn't cut that short and won't have any blooms!- think maybe that happened last year - pruned to much in Winter ... and this year pruning on first day of Spring where there 'WERE' buds .... Ahhh ... well, live and learn. Thanks so much for your video, very helpful!! Will prune twice this upcoming year, and not back to the hard wood, lol!! :)

Actually the best information I've heard so far and I've had my Wisteria for 4/5 years now, East Coast, South Africa, and wondering why no flowers yet but now I understand the plant so much better.... All I knew was that it is a vigorous grower(obviously in the right climate) as my Nursery man wanted to know why I want a plant that doesn't normally flourish here
    I'm renting so put it in a tall pot which keeps falling over!!

Will add the new putting soil and mulch, while I keep watching and listening to your videos...

    My wisteria is two years old. First year it didn't even grow. Second year I made a pergola and it set off. Just one flower though. Next year I bet it will totally get out of hand 😊 Hopefully it will bloom likewise, but thanks for the warning it can take a while. Maybe I will also have to put rings and ropes/ties to the wall.

    I have a 25 year old wisteria over the peak of my portch 2 years ago it was wild and i had to get someone to cut back of of the slate roof.
    It was fine for after that blooming each year but last year it fell off its framed because it had so many blooms it was to heavy so i had to cut all the under side to get into my front door we had to houst it up and tie it around the beam .
    I keep the long shoots cut because i don't wat it to get as bad as it did befor .
    Sadly this year i didn't have any flowers but did on the wild bit going into the trees.
    I left lots of blooms on the top bit over the porch so i dont know why it hasnt flowerd this year. It was in may last year when i had to cut it.
    And this year im having to cut the long stems again because its touching the roof again.
    Can you suggest anything for me what im doing wrong.
    I realy need to cut it right back but afraid it will not flower again

      Hi Robert. Thanks for both your comments, this and thr tree fern comment. I really appreciate them. Thd pruning method i used for the wisteria was after lots of research and seems to be widely accepted, but having said that, my new neighbour has one and has done no pruning whatsoever, although i should add that his is in the perfect south facing sheltered condition. I've since moved house and will be planting a new wisteria over an arbor with some jasmine and honeysuckle. Best wishes. Mark

    Thank you for this lovely informative video! We have a 40year old Wisteria in the garden of the house we just bought. It’s beautiful and huge. But it’s now August and it’s blooming again (new flowers coming in all over). It also has a LOT of tendrils now. It’s growing out of control. Do I prune it now and cut the tendrils? Or should I wait for this bloom to be over?

    • @MarksHouseandGardenUK
      @MarksHouseandGardenUK  Před rokem

      Hi. Thanks for this. I think it depends on your objectives. It might be wise to sacrifice some blooming potential this year just to bring the thing back under control. I suspect even if you don't follow the prescribed routine it will still give you some blossom somewhere. What is the main thing you want to achieve? Mark

    • @MarksHouseandGardenUK
      @MarksHouseandGardenUK  Před měsícem

      Hi, thank you for watching. I understand cuttings are difficult but you can try. You can also try collecting and planting seed pods although I believe it can be complex and take 15 years. I've heard the easiest way is to bury a few of the whips in soil whilst they are still growing. It's called laying i think(?) but if they are moving imminently this may not be feasible.

      Hi jerry. You could prune it a little if you wish. Or alternatively you could let it keep going until it has covered your pergola. Has it ever flowered? I heard they can take 5 years to flower. Regards propagating it. I understand that cuttings is difficult. I tried a few times and always failed. Layering is supposed to be successful, pinning a whip to the earth until roots. They do produce seed pods but propagating from seed is complicated and takes years. Mark

Others have taken up to 6 years. As you said it's all in the care of the plant. Proper pruning is time consuming but worth it. Here in the U.S. many people look at it as a menacing weed. 😞

      Hi thanks fpr this. The bean like pods are indeed seed pods. And in fact can be germinated and grown on. But it can take 15 years to produce a plant (layering/pinning a vine into soil is suggested as the best way to propagate). Regarding the pods, i just leave them on, they don't seem to have a detrimental effect on blossom. And my hope is that will provide food for an animal at some point.
