Remember to leave enough wire protruding so you can apply tension later. Repeat this process at the other end of trellis. I space horizontal wires on either side of the main ‘trunk’ at 30cm intervals up the surface, such as a wall, fence or the sides of a pergola. In the first phase, you will mainly be training young shoots and pruning to trim side-shoots into flowering spurs. The first phase would be as fresh growth emerges in spring, around February to April, and the second phase would be in the June-July timeframe, right after summer pruning.

How to look after wisteria

Some ideal support structures for a Wisteria include an open framework for an arbour, a big pergola or an archway. Giving you complete control to create ambitious and stunning wire trellis installations at an affordable price.

If it consists of a lattice-like structure, bars or uprights, fasteners are not necessary, though they can still be useful. To prep a smooth, unbroken surface, string horizontal lengths of wire, spaced apart vertically by about 30cm. Abutilon ‘kentish belle’ – Slender stems carry clusters of creamy orange – apricot flowers in a rich calyx Our wire trellis grid sizes are a guidance only, you can adapt the wire grid to suit and add more components if neededAfter transplanting a Wisteria, do not prune it for at least a year; training too should be kept at a minimum during this time. Although a Wisteria vine has to be trained, what exactly you are training it on is another important consideration. A pole or a narrow pillar will not need any prepping; Wisteria will twine around these, but it is best if the pole is connected to something else, such as an arch, giving room for the flowers to hang.

Above shows typical trellis wire plant climbing system layouts for each kit using 500mm spacings between each hub, this can be changed to suit your custom requirements or wall space If they resist, make some cuts with the secateurs. Make sure the graft union (the bumpy bit ) is above the ground. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide and top up with compost. Place your root ball in the hole - the top of the pot should be level with the top of the soil when you’ve finished. A wire rope cutter is supplied with our kits, this gives you the full flexibility to measure and cut to size Our stainless trellis kits come with a little bit of extra stainless steel wire rope, eg. a 1 meter x 1 meter kit only requires 6 meters of wire rope but we supply 10 meters, this offers freedom for custom spacingsI recommend growing a Wisteria, especially a Japanese or Chinese type, against the wall of your dwelling. The answer to this, one of the most frequently-asked gardening questions we receive, usually lies in one of the following explanations. The other thing you need to bear in mind is that wisteria gets energy from its leaves drinking up the sunlight; and that it flowers best when its woody stems have been allowed to bake in the sun during the summer. So you need to strike a balance between forcing it into your desired shape and allowing it to grow enough leaves to feed itself and grow strong; but not too many leaves such that they cast all the woody stems into deep shade.

Wisteria forms two sorts of shoots: shoots that turn into long leafy branches, and shoots that turn into short stumpy spurs off the long branches. It is the short stumpy spurs that form the flowers, so you want lots of them. You can persuade it to form the sort of shoot you want by pruning - wisteria is a very obliging plant which will generally try to do what you want it to do (hee hee, famous last words). If you're growing wisteria on a wall, strong wires are much more suitable than wooden trellis work which is likely to rot. It's worth investing in a trellis with self-tensioning stainless steel wires and these can be expensive. S3i sell functional, stylish kits. You can also use strong wire and vine ties, although the wire is difficult to tighten once it sags. Red-flushed, violet-blue flowers in late spring to early summer. The foliage emerges soon after the flowers, and often has an initial bronze flush, which fades as the leaves mature. Did you know? Another way of telling is that Chinese wisterias produce flowers on bare wood, whilst Japanese wisterias have leaves and flowers at the same time. Whatever fastener you use, it should be firmly fastened but should not cut into the shoot or press it against the element; leave a bit of space for the stem, as it will fill out.

Wisterias are generally pruned twice, once in July and once in February or March depending on the weather. You need to prune before the buds break so those with warm gardens in the south of England may prune in January in good years. Never prune in severe weather, always choose a clement, still day. Long, pendulous racemes of beautiful, dark violet purple flowers in early summer once established. Wisteria brachybotrys'Okayama' is reasonably vigorous and an ideal for climbing up wires or trellis against a sunny wall or fence. Although you can use any wire for these robust vines, it is best to use smooth, PVC-coated or vinyl-coated wire. If a green shoot is anywhere close to the support structure that you want to train it into, simply grasp it between your fingers and twist it around the vertical a couple of times, then grasp it with part of the support structure.
