Can't take the credit for ours as I have no idea how old they are and this is our 5th spring here. We have had to do some remedial pruning to get them out from under gutters and I did a lot of re-shaping on the larger one last year but their vigour is, I think, entirely down to being well-established and also not having harsh winters.
They are certainly much more densely flowered than the one I had in my last garden in Belgium.

I think yours look lovely @Bill_and_Ben but just for ease of maintenance I would take both sides down to say one strand across the top of the ground floor window. It looks as though you could then train the left hand side across along the top of the French doors. It's easy then to keep it pruned for more flowers.
My wisteria is now doing its usual growing up through the deck but still no sign of growth above. A local friend has suggested that the graft has failed. Has anyone had any experience of this?
If this is the case, presumably if we grow it again from scratch from the shoots coming through the deck (somehow rerouting them) it would be the 'wrong' wisteria?!
