A simple to understand video . To the point and exactly what I needed to know . Thanks for upload .

Youd make a WONDERFUL horticulture speaker!! Im in awe of your knowledhe, and how you deliver it! You make it crystal clear.. ****

Wisteria always generates so much interest and comment! Once it has started to flower with the right pruning it will reward every year. I had hoped to go to Japan this year in part to see their gardens but world events have intervened.........on the back burner for now.

I have a wisteria I bought when pregnant with my son. He’ll be 21 in July & we’ve yet to see even one bloom! I’ve never pruned it, it’s climbed waaaaay up into a maple tree, so I’ll try my best. Hopefully I can learn a bit more about pruning, but thanks so much for the tips!!! I’d never have thought not pruning could be the issue!

I’ve been watching videos on wisteria since March and I’m excited to see blooms this upcoming spring!

I had been growing wisteria for decades! Thanks for simple yet important tips.

I love your video. It's very accurate and to the point! The quality of the picture is very sharp and easy to see. You speak clearly, you dress appropriate. Excellent! I have been hours trying to find a video like yours. Not many discuss pruning. I wonder if you might give me some pointers on how to successfully propagate wisteria. I bought my plant from Walmart (a large discount franchise.). It is growing like a forest fire! It is a very busy, nosy plant!!! (Actually I'm concerned about where I planted it and have no help moving it.). I can't lift right now.

Thank you for this video! I started wisteria in a pot and transplanted it this spring to its new home on a fence with a patterned wire trellis. Looking forward to its blooms!

Thank you so much. That was refreshingly clear and very helpful.

I will have to try again. I love the flower!

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO, After many years of looking for a video of wisteria care, your is the best. It's clearly explained, easy to understand and not rushed. SOUND QUALITY very good, as some video's are very low. Once again a big thank you. Kind regards

Great video and you gave me the information I needed, I’ve had my wisteria for about a year now and it’s growing like crazy! I was scared to cut the long shot down somewhat for fear of harming the pant. You have given the info on how to cut it back and keep it manageable. Thank you so very much,

Thanks for your enquiry. I have been fortunate because I have never had to feed my Wisteria. If it needed a feed, I would give blood fish and bone meal in the spring. I would avoid high nitrogen feeds which stimulate growth, which the Wisteria does well on its own being a vigorous plant, better potash based feeds to encourage flowering. I would feed wisteria if it failed to flower. Good luck, Wisteria are one of our most lovely climbing plants to grow.

Hi Jody Wisteria grows best on fertile well-drained soil, but they are quite tough and vigorous which means they will tolerate most soil types although you will need to add some drainage to heavy clay. More important is to plant them where there is plenty of sun, west or south facing.

I love your wisteria flower making video very much. Thank you for your advice.

thank you from winston-salem, nc, usa! i found you late, but you'll have me looking fantastic next season!

Just seen this! my wisteria flowered for the first time this year, 3 years since I bought it. Now know how to prune. Thank you

Thank you so much. This is a Great video.

Excellent video! Found this to be very informative. 😊

I would start to prune it as soon as it puts on growth so that you can get into shape and the twice yearly routine of pruning to encourage it to flower. When it first grows as a new plant, cut back the leader shoot to a bud and remove the laterals in the summer. In the following winter cut back leader shoot again , not so harshly and leave on some of the new growth so the leader shoot is longer. Cut back laterals by about a third and start to train laterals into the shape you want to plant to become which usually means training laterals horizontally along supports with one upward lateral, but you may have a different design and shape involved. As the Wisteria is now getting under way you can start to prune it as per the video winter and summer. I hope this helps.

Thank you from buenos aires argentina!! you are the best

Could you do a brief video talk on actually planting a wisteria , and what to feed . I intend planting two on either side of an arbor and would love to hear your advice . Thanks

Hi Susie, thank you for sharing your video. I bought a wisteria about 3 years ago, it wasn't in flower, and it hasn't really dine very much until this year. All of a sudden it has put on some new growth and is almost to the top of my pergola. Some of the new shoots are dying and the new growth looks a yellow and unhealthy. Should I cut back this new growth? Not had any flowers but I was expecting it to get a bit bigger first. If I cut back it will be back to the size it was last year.

Thank you very much. Mine have been in 2 yrs and it's great but no flower yet.

Outstanding, awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful, Thank you, from South Africa, where I have a young plant and wondering when it will bear flowers.... It's about 4/5 years old now and we're in a subtropical region on the East Coast

So amazing and interesting vedio

This is one of the most informative videos I have come across regarding pruning wisteria. Thank you! I have some major wisteria overgrowth due to my recently purchased property being largely unoccupied for the last 20 years. The base is large enough that I'm guessing it is between 60 and 100 years old. How far back can I hard tune it in order to retrain this massive beast? I don't want to kill it, but I also need to get it out of my trees so I don't lose them!

Very useful and sharp to point

This made my day

Thank you, I adore this plant.

I didn’t know the wisteria can be grown up against the wall, it’s gorgeous!

To quote from an old expert gardener friend (sadly deceased): "Wisteria, a damned rogue of a plant, just like a pretty woman (or a handsome man), wonderful for two weeks of the year, and a bloody nuisance for the rest of the year." !! I agree! I have a 100 y.o. Wisteria, very temperamental, flowering varies from year to year, I am still learning how to get the best flowers. Prune in August, remove long shoots as you say; prune in February - remember the number 2, cut new growth back to 2 buds, not 3, or 4, but 2. I have also read recently that the plant flowers best under stress, poor soil, low watering. 3 years ago, it had gotten out of control, so it got a hard pruning, it sulked for a year (just like a temperamental partner!), and put on a reasonable display last April. I've just pruned it (almost August), and there are plenty of flowering spurs for next year. Mine is West facing, but the best W's face South & like the HEAT. I've seen some magnificent specimens in N Thailand in the height of the hot / dry season. The quality of the original plant is also important, some great modern hybrids which don't go so far out of control. I live in hope for 2021. Nice vid BTW, thank you.

Iiked and enjoyed that - thank you

Do japanese whisteria need to be winterized like juniper i just got some seeds and wish to bonsai it

Great informations 👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌

Fabulous ave just bought one carnt wait to plant it

Thank you!

I have had wisteria in my garden for about 2 years now which hasn’t yet flowered. We are in early May now.... can I prune now or do I have to wait until August? Thanks

For the first time in 10 years, the wisteria that I inherited has flowered. I was actually looking for videos on how to take cuttings and grow more wisteria around the house, and I came to your video. I thank you for uploading this very informative video, and would ask you, what is the best way to take and grow cuttings from the wisteria that I have?

Hi Madhu Thanks for your question and I can understand why you ask it. I can only say that Wisteria is commonly grown against south facing house walls all over the country, it is a very common sight at this time of the year and I have not heard of complaints about it disturbing the foundations. I am not a surveyor, and if you had concerns, you would need advice from surveyor but if it worries you plant elsewhere to put your mind at rest.

Thank you!!! 🙏

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I think mine has been cut back far to much as it’s never flowered since, will it ever come back do you think or have l lost it for ever 🥺

Can wisteria withstand hot weather??I live in Malaysia hot climate..

I want to see this flowers. Please make a video in this topic. Think you.

Thank you for your excellent video and advice . My only question is I live in the U.S.A in the north part of the country and although I know it grows just fine here we get snow and ice in Feb. So should I just prune in Aug . Our spring goes from April - May summer is June - Aug . Thanks

I planted my Wisteria more than 10 years ago. It only grew about 2 meters in length which is as high as a standard door, and has never flowered. I have seen other Wisterias in the area so it should have grown or flowered by now

Just osm 👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏

Is it safe to plant it so close to house ?

Thank you for you video. I am going to order 2 bare root Japanese Wisteria from a catalog soon and I was wondering what type of fertilizer you would recommend to feed it. I hear not to feed it nitrogen is that true?. Thank you.

Great video. I prune as you say, then I find I get more growth coming from the point that I have pruned to. What should I do with those please. I am guessing I should cut them back to the first prune.

Hi , how old is your wisterias? Are you worried about it’s too close to the foundation of your house ? Well , I planted a small wisteria under my deck yesterday. I started to worry about now . I am going to find a video which show me how the roots of wisteria grow under the ground . Thank you for sharing the video . I learn how to trim it now .

ยายมารับชมนะค่ะ

Hi Susie Thank you so much for your kind comments I am delighted that you enjoyed the video. I have not propagated Wisteria, as you point out they grow so vigorously that one is often enough. If you are worried about your Wisteria overgrowing its space prune it back harder in the summer prune taking off even more of the young growth. The best advice on propagating Wisteria I can offer is a link to the RHS web site on Wisteria www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=404 which I hope you find helpful. Your question is timely as now is a good time to taking cuttings for propagation of Wisteria and many other popular garden plants such as Clematis, passion flower, rosemary, lavender, thyme, and good luck with the cuttings.

I cut both my wisterias back with a hedge cutter to keep it tidy....it flowers every year without any fafing!

Thanks ! Very helpful. Can I grow this in a container?

Well done and easy to understand you and what you're saying so many videos are just hopless 😂

❤ thank u

Can wisteria be propagated from the lateral growth prunings? Does it require wood from the previous season to propagate from cuttings? Thanks.

What kind of soil is best?

Can Wisteria be grown in a pot for a Patio area against a wall? Great video, thank you.

If I wait till august to cut wisteria I will have a forest, can I cut wisteria along the year and make the final cut back to 5buds?

Hi. We have a young plant about 3.5ft. Bought from a nursery in April. When should I start pruning it as some websites say after 1 or 2 summers but it is confusing as most advice is for established plants

what are the things that look like peapods?,are they to be lift on?

I live in Canada where we get snow up to May, and it's impossible to prune in February because all the soils are covered in 30+ cm of snow. Do you think my Wisteria still has a chance?

Can you train lateral growth round the trunk?

Interesting info but I don’t have to worry about the plant being vigorous! Where I live hot n dry plants grow slowly n lazy.

I've had a wisteria planted here at the New Jersey shore (very sandy soil) for over 10 years. It is vigorous and only flowered once (very small showing), what would you suggest as a feeding to get flowers. Thank you.

I'm in the UK & have already bought a wisteria not in flower! I didn't realize it was best to choose one in flower 😢 does this mean I might struggle to get it to flower?

I love this plant. But I don't have a garden. Will Wisteria grow in a large pot? Thank you.

I'm in the Thailand, Summer is from April to June, and the rainy season is from July to October with winters having average highs of 20-28ºC ,When is the Best Time to Prune?

Hi can you do a cutting by putting in water

Can it flower in a tropical place does it need a cold winter ????

How long does it generally take wisteria to go into bloom? I planted some 15 yrs ago now, it has nice big trunks and healthy green foliage but no flowering. Is it possible that I planted a wisteria that just will not bloom? Thank you 🙏

Oddly, one of my Wisterias grew rapidly but never flowered, although regularily pruned. Then I planted it to an old plum tree to climb up, didn't prune it since (2 years) and this year it has flowers for the first time in 8 years that I have it. Some individuals don't seem to know the rules.

I have this fella near me that has wisteria over his entire house , it looks beautiful, but he told me the roots are starting too raise his patio, and it's planted right next too his home, will the roots damage his home in anyway ? And is there any Solutions?

Hi Lesley. To get Wisteria to flower it does need to be pruned twice a year and the second summer prune is done around now in July .Have a look at my web page on growing and pruning Wisteria sundaygardener.co.uk/how_to_grow_wisteria.html and check out the video dealing with the summer prune and then I would prune the Wisteria as per the information. You are not cutting it back to original size; prune off the long whippy growth as it shows on the page and video and then prune again in February and with some luck it should flower next spring. Carol- The Sunday Gardener

My wisteria never flower ed , I cut it to the end, grown back again twice still no flower, anything I can do ?

It would be helpful to refer to seasons rather than months.

In one of your comments you mention blood fish and bone. I wish they sold it here in the United states premixed, I heard about it from the KZfaq channel Home Grown Veg, so I started mixing it up myself from the individual components. I’m putting it in with my veggies, and I’ll try my wisteria too. This is my first season trying it, we’ll see how it goes! 🤗😄 Thanks for your wonderful advice.

Can we plant those lateral growths which you cut off? It would be ashamed to throw them away.

I have a wisteria that refuses to flower . It was not too well last year showing some nourishment deficit . I’ve gave it some manure and other but to my disappointment the wisteria didn’t flower .

Can it flower in a place like Hawaii?

Does it work on upper moons ?

how can i acquire westeria plant here in the philippines?

Thanks for the comment and I am very pleased the video was helpful. I have always purchased Wisteria in flower to make sure it can flower so I haven't tried to grow from a cutting so the best I can do is to send a link to the authoritative RHS pages on the subject. www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=173 and if for any reason the link doesn't work search the web site for Wisteria.

Mine is 15 yrs old. It has not flowered ever! There are little buds all over it this year tho! 🤞🤞

I have a love hate relationship with my 2 wisterias. I did not research the plant and discovered way too late in the game that it spreads so fast getting out of hand under the ground choking out my other plants. Once this has started it is almost impossible to get it under control. I'd pot it under ground if I was to do this again. So much work to do on a plant to just bloom once a year. Beautiful? yes, but it can damage trees, houses and many other plants near by and destroy a garden. I don't think I'd ever plant a wisteria again. My branches are so thick that we have had to use a chain saw. Really! No garden tool I've ever seen could cut off these branches that went out of control. Don't plant until you have the time to take care of it. Way too much work if you don't get a hold of it from the beginning. Lesson learned and I'm hoping to get a handle on it soon.

I hardly get buds. My vines are 10 years old.! What should I do?

Peter Goodridge

I'm growing a wisteria bonsai

I cut my wisteria in half and cut into the old branches... 5 years ago. NO flowers despite gentle pruning thereafter.... even cuttings dont flower! The wisteria is 80 years old ish

Is it chinese wisteria or Japanese wisteria....

Saving this in case demons attack my house.

You CANNOT damage wisteria. The stuff behind her grew 1 foot during her video.

I wonder if anyone is watching this because of Kimetsu no Yaiba

Regret will come when the base of the plant gets so large that it tears apart your foundation...

Say in Hindi

"buy a wisteria with buds" thanks lady thats just genius. This video is so stupid i stared at it after it finished for some time in a trance 😶

Threaten it? 😂
