Great video. I have an established wisteria tree and I'm learning the correct pruning and feeding regime. Your explanation is perfect. Thanks 😊

Good day, I have pruning of wisteria vine and all are three years old. I let the vines grow freely. I am planning to make tree shape. I would appreciate it if you could please advise whether I should start pruning them?

Great video and you make it look easy. I would like to know, How tall can one make the truck. Is there a maximum height? I want to get one of these for my yard and I would like it to grow to between 15 and 20 ft (overall height) and I want a truck about six feet. Will the weight to the top be a hinderance to a truck of that height? Thank you.

I have put in two young 1 year old wisteria plants that are single stem that are just awakening for spring ....so you top them to get them to branch or will they find their own branching way 🤔

"And just a few more snips... " only the trunks left

Seeing your plants leafless is kinda weird. I live in the tropics and our plants have leave all year long.

My friend has had one growing for 12 years and all of a sudden this year nothing it’s died she’s absolutely gutted any suggestions? She is thinking of pulling it out from the roots.
