When pruning in summer, the long branches of the year should be cut off 15 cm after the flowers wither, and unnecessary branches and dead branches should be cut off. When pruning in winter, 3~5 buds should be cut off from the long branches pruned in summer. Before flowering in early spring, the useless branches and buds of the trunk should be cut off to promote the growth of flower branches. The trunk should not be too long, and there should be at most 5 main branches in different directions.

Pruning method summer pruning-cut off long branches after flowers wither

Wisteria usually blooms on the branches of the previous year, so pruning the branches after flowering is not only conducive to the vigorous growth of the plant, but also invisibly paves the way for the next year's flowering.

After flowering in early summer, cut off the long branches of that year 15 cm, and cut off unnecessary branches and dead branches. Easy to handle. But as for the effect of cutting out, no one can help you with this, it depends on your personal aesthetics. There is no hard and fast rule on the number of pruning. If wisteria grows too fast, it can be pruned twice with the same length.

Pruning in winter-pruning long branches with 3~5 buds.

Prune again at the end of winter, and cut off 3~5 buds from the long branches pruned in summer (there are many small buds on the branches in winter, and the pruning length is about 10 cm). For the sake of beauty, you can cut off the uncoordinated branches, so that it is easy to see fallen leaves or dead branches in winter and clean them up in time.

Precautions for pruning

Update the trunk branch. With the increase of age, the trunk of wisteria may be affected by pests and diseases, which will affect the modeling and flowering and need to be updated in time. It is necessary to re-select the main planting in spring.

In early spring, useless branches and buds on the trunk should be cut off before flowering to promote the growth of flower branches.

Special attention should be paid to the pruning of potted wisteria: the trunk should not be too long, and the trunk should leave at most five main branches in different directions. The lateral branches are shorter than the main branches. The new branches that grow every year should be properly pruned, the weak ones should remain strong, and the hearts should be properly picked. Try to keep the shape of potted plants and the beauty of flowers.
