Wisteria pruning

1. Summer pruning

After the wisteria has finished blooming in the summer, it needs to be pruned. At this time, you should first cut off the dead flowers and branches on the plant. Then cut the branches of the current year back to about 15 cm. Because its flowers usually bloom on branches that grew in the previous year. This pruning will help it bloom better in its second year.

2. Winter pruning

In winter, it needs to be pruned. The longer branches need to be cut back to the length of 3-4 buds, which is about 10cm. In addition, you can also clean up its more messy side branches. This can allow the plant to save a lot of nutrients, help it survive the winter, and help it sprout again in the second year.

3. Notes

1. Its lifespan is relatively long. If its main branches are diseased or infested with insects during its growth process, they need to be pruned in time, and in the spring, branches with good growth should be selected to be cultivated as new main branches.

2. In early spring, it will grow flower buds. At this time, you can cut off some branches that have no flower buds to promote the growth and flowering of branches that have flower buds.
