Hey there, I can help you out a bit, as I have several wisteria that I have been training for a little while. I have also dug up/and purchased some older ones as well. Its obviously first depends on what style you are trying to achieve. During the first five or so years of life for the tree, it will not flower and it's terribly stressful for it too do so. After a week or so of letting the leaves get to 6 to 8 leaves per sublet, you need to trim it back to 2 to 3 leaves. Unless of course that's the direction you'd like your branch to go. Keeping the leaves cut back will increase the vigor elsewhere. The strength will go back to the trunk and other branches. So if you have say five branches, and would like your lower three branches to fatten up, you need to trim those ends back. Keep allowing them to backbud and trimming them back. The great thing about wisteria is that it's a very quick grower !! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about it. . .
