Winter/Spring Pruning. Wisteria needs dedicated pruning twice a year to keep the vine and display in tip top condition. The first of these sessions should be carried out in early Spring before the flower buds grow too much, when they are easily damaged. The main purpose of this pruning is to regain control of the plant which has probably grown a bit untidy during the previous Summer. If the vine is well established, it should have large numbers of flowering spurs like the picture on the right.
