    Here's mine, but it all seems so low growing, not sure what to cut off!

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • Pugslovesun - I would try and untwine them and have them growing more horizontal than vertical. I would cut each long branch down by 6 buds now and by a further two buds in January. They are robust blighters and I cut all the whips off  each August/September and then chopped plant back loads in January/February. They really suit being able to grow up castles etc. 

    Lyn - you need to cut some of the grass away from the base of the wisteria and water (feed in the spring) - then get some strong trellis/wires because once it has something to climb on it will romp away. Again, prune every branch by 6 buds now and a further 2 after Christmasimage should flower once it's reached 3-4 years old.
