Wisteria Styling Help
This is a Wisteria I bought a couple of years ago. I've been letting it grow with light pruning during that time. The racemens are a beautiful white. It's well established now and I'm thinking of some serious styling this season. I have a few ideas and would love to hear yours. Thanks a lot!
Wendell

What a nice plant you have to work with. I have always admired wisterias, (especially well shaped ones) for their falling racemes and interesting branches. I guess when it comes to a styling a vine with large flowers, one must keep in mind that you are showing off how you can position the branches to show off the flowers, almost like have a purple tree. Also, due to it's natually long and semi-broad foliage, it's leaves will definitely make siutable effect of a mature tree. I have included 2 virts for you, these are just suggestiongs. IN the second virtual, the tree is tilted 15 degrees to the right, with a really badly drawn pot for reference! Hope you enoy them and let me know what you think. |

Branching suggestions are good, but the minor trunk needs to have less visual mass. It's too long and straight, too. You might cut it back or layer off the lesser trunk and start the development of that one again, or simply go with the single trunk.
Having a twin trunk is nice, but the right trunk is poorly formed as compared to the main trunk. Improved branching can help a little, but it can't hide it. Taking it back at least as far as the first branching, or possibly on to the first "knuckle" would put things in scale again. I would probably begin with a cut that saves only the first branching on the right trunk, past that knobby knuckle. No problem with a little knobbiness on wisteria. Regards, Matt
