Japanese wisteria

Japanese wisteria . In botany , any plant that does not stand upright on its own, needing a support to perch: another plant, a wall, a rock, etc. , is called a climber, creeper, creeper, or vine . For this you can use organs such as tendrils , hooks , adventitious roots , etc. or it wraps around the support, then being called fickle. Certain vines do not need a support, and can spread across the ground surface without any problem. Vines can dry other plants or trees , if not pruned, by removing significant sunlight.to other plants. However, they are not parasitic plants, since they only seek a support to receive more light; Or, to find the perfect place for your development.

Pruning

• You need pruningfor it to flourish successfully and flourish well.
• Before entering the Flowering Pruning, on its formation, comment that if it is planted with the idea of ​​covering a pergola or an arch, try to leave a single trunk next to the column or pillar, not several per plant that come out of the ground, since they will get more tangled.
• Wisteria takes a few years to start blooming from when it is planted.
• It blooms on the branches grown the previous year.
• Flowering pruning must be done in winter (a single intervention) and in summer (pruning every 15 or 20 days is ideal).

In winter

• The main branches, originate 2 types of formations:
• Short bouquets, called crowned toasts, have at the end a flower bud that will give rise to an inflorescence. They are all respected.
• Long branches of several meters, of which only the buds of the base give flowers.
• Pruning consists of cutting these branches about 30-40 centimeters from the base.
• It is done in winter (in February better if it is an area with frost).
• Pruning the lateral buds to 2 buds means losing some flowers, but the rest will be more beautiful and elegant.
• The wisteria will be seen after pruning filled with short twigs.

In summer

• It is not enough with the pruning of late winter that can be done in one day; during the summer, every 15 or 20 days, prune the long branches, leaving them about 40 cm long.
• It is a lot of work, because it has to be repeated as I say every 15 or 20 days, but it is how the best results are achieved.
• However, the most common is to do 1 or 2 pruning of these in summer instead of every 15 or 20 days throughout the summer season.
• At least 1 must be done, if not, it will become a large, tangled mass with few flowers next year.
• In summer it also sees removing past inflorescences.
• Apart from all this, in winter the obligatory Cleaning Pruning is done, for example the same day as the Flowering Pruning, removal of dry, crisscross branches, suckers, etc.
