- How To Prune a Wisteria Tree and how to prune wisteria bonsai trees. In this video I share with you how to prune wisteria bonsai trees and also how to prune wisteria grown in the ground and trained to grow agains a house wall or grown in pots. In both cases the Wisteria stalks on which the flowers grow are removed after flowering. If you want to collect seeds, then leave a few for harvesting seeds in late summer/ autumn/fall. The Wisteria tendrils grow very fast and for this reason it is important the wisteria are pruned around now to maintain the shape and then again in August and then in winter when the branch structure is visible as all the leaves are down. The trees should be heavily fed, I use chicken pallets to fertilise my wisteria trees. The Wisteria bonsai pots should be place in shallow trays of water. These trees are very thirsty as the as there is a lot of foliage which needs to be supported.
For full care see the first wisteria video in the play list, link is in the info card in the top right hand side of the video screen.

Hi Iqbal, funny afterthought 😂. Took me a few seconds though. Must be my age. A big tree like this would look better in a wide shallow pot, in my opinion. Perhaps, a little wider than the tray beneath the pot but of same height, since the canopy is quite large.
Hi Vinny, Thanks for your feed back. As you know this is a normal Wisteria made into a bonsai tree. So have to follow its horticultural aspects.
I am following guidance of John Naka for this Wisteria. This is what John Naka said about Wisteria: Don't plant in an over sized pot, smaller pot will encourage more roots. Wisteria needs roots to bloom.
I am not using bonsai soil for this tree as planting in heavy soil to encourages more roots.
There is a full summary of this trees needs, care and maintenance are in the description box below first video of this tree when I repotted it the Link is: ruclips.net/video/2SUCjLlrSEA/видео.html
I hope this clarifies why I did it this way.
All the best

+mikbonsai ... perhaps, for the next potting, you could try a pot in pot arrangement. That way you get the best of both - a pot that looks suitably big for the tree and yet the roots are confined in a neckless, smaller plastic pot, within the larger ceramic pot. Just a thought.
Thanks Vinny, will give it some thought and decided at the next repot. Appreciate you suggestion.
Thank you for the lesson
Am glad you like it.
Nice Khansaab, wish you happy Ramzan in advance
Many thanks Vaman for watching and commenting and you good wishes, I am lapsed one.
lol, great afterthought. Recently found your channel and very much enjoying it. Subscribed.
Great to have you here. How did you find it ? As I am trying to grow the channel and it’s very slow. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos and my sense of humour.
@@mikbonsai I've been watching several other bonsai channels and youtube recommended yours. To be honest I really love your calm peaceful vibe. My condolences for the last year, happy you're still in the mood to keep going with the channel. Life can be so tough sometimes but also plenty of beauty. Thank you for doing it!
Ben Bishop Thank you for you condolences. Appreciate you getting back.
Happy viewing, more videos to follow.
Best wishes

Very helpful vedio , plz help me out here in S California. I'm new to bonsai and became very enthusiastic when I found a nice Wisteria I thought would be a good choice for bonsai .... the root system was crazy big by the time I was done pruning the roots it was quite small . We're in early spring here I thought it to be a good time for this it's been three weeks , I did remove most of the foliage to give the roots more advantage.... I'm worried it might not make it , when should I expect to see budding if this plant makes it? A month 6 weeks ? Help !! Thank you !
Spring is a good time to repot and do root work. Keep the tree in full shade for three weeks from repot to give the tree a chance to recover from the repot and for the feeder roots to develop. I see we are past that point, you could still move it into the shade. I hope you have been watering adequately and also left some very thin roots, in which case it should recover. Use a sharp knife to scratch the bark and if it is green, it is alive and will recover. However if it is brown, you tree is dead. I hope this helps.
Let me know how you the tree is doing either way, as this is how you learn to bonsai.
mikbonsai Sir you were absolutely right! My Wisteria not only started budding but is flowering it has about three flower buds one is opening with beautiful purple flowers ! I wasn't expecting any flowers till possibly next summer... thank you agin !
@@marshalllopez6188 Great to hear that.
Nice information sir
Thank you for watching and your appreciation.
Do you have pics or video of this wisteria bonsai when it was on full bloom ? pl share.i just start to make wisteria bonsai. Thnaks
Nice work
Thanks for watching and your appreciation.
How do you make the trunk get bigger to be a tree when it’s a vine?
I had been off YT for 6 years due to ill health and within a few months of health diagonsis my son of 27 year passed away. I am well and back making bonsai videos.
Apologies for the late reply.
You let the leader (also known as the scrifical branch) to grow uncontrolled and that thickens the trunk. When the trunk has reached your desired thickness, then you do a trunk chop and remove the leader at the desired height and work on growing an apex.
I have seen a wild or forgtten wisteria growing along a main road near where i live every year i look forward to seeing the blooms but i never see anyone taking care of her she couldve bloomed even more with care but where she is to dangerous to get to by myself...
Hi Cathy, that is a lovely story about "your" wisteria. If possible you could place some fertiliser around its base and it will reward you with blooms the following year ? worth a try if not too much trouble. Thanks for being here and your support.
All the best

Hello Iqbal,so the tendril and the flower stalk are different parts? I thought the tendril was the flower stalk.Always good info, keep up good work!
Am so glad you got that and liked the video.
Do comment , like and share my videos you watch as it all helps.
Cheers,
IK
I wanted to see it in bloom....I have a young white wisteria and I know its a grafted white, but forgot how old it was when I ordered it.....can you show it in bloom please.
There you go. That's the link for the wisteria in Bloom: ruclips.net/video/g6sPUkAVIME/видео.html
Lol that afterthought :P great video and advice as always :) I’d put it into practise but one of my elderly neighbours fell in love with my wisteria and ended up going home with it, loving the ones around your home, does the front one not mess with your pir sensor at all? Can imagine a lot of light in light off with slight wind :P take care buddy
Hi Rob , really glad you enjoyed th afterthought and liked the video. Surprisingly the one in the tub by the front had no effect on the pir sensor, yet it picks up people walking on the pavement at the front of the house.
Thanks again and keep watching !
You too buddy.
My wisteria is a year old, growing nicely. I would like to move it but I keep reading that it will die if I move it and to wait till it goes dormant than move in winter. Please tell me how and when I can move it.
Apologies for the late reply, I was off YT for 6 years due to ill health and then within six months of that my 27 year old son passed away. I am well and back making bonsai videos for my channel.
I guess you may have figured it out, nevertheless, you move it our of the ground February as its starting to come out of dormancy, and repot it at the same time.
I still have my large wisteria and will do an update in the near future. Do let me me know what you did with your wisteria and how its developing.
is it possible to airlayer this kind of tree?thanks ....love your videos
Hi Arr, Yes it is possible to air layer not only this tree but any tree. Air layering is a technique which works all all trees.
Best wishes

Hi, how do you thicken up the trunk? My white wisteria is only a year old, I just bought it and looking to thicken up the trunk.
To thicken the trunk, you can plant it int the ground for a few years. the trunk will thicken faster in the ground than in a bonsai pot. When you are happy with the thickness of the trunk, lice the tree from the ground in early spring and repot it.
Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing with your tree.
Regards
Iqbal
What should i do the first jear of my bonsai Wisteria, do i have to cut the flowers of,to give him a better start,?
Just let it grow and prune as shown in my video. It take time to make it into a bonsai, in the meantime you keep pruning as shown.
Let me know how you get on and post your pics in my fb group mikbonsai.
Cheers
Iqbal
Hi, i have a chinese wisteria bonsai which i grew from seed, bout 5 months old, lately some of the leaves have started to brown at the tips and edges, what could be causing this? Also, when would i start pruning?
All the information you need to look after your Wisteria is in the video, rewatch and follow the steps.
Place the pot in a tray of water as I do with mine. Prune at times advised in the video. At 5 months its is too young to start pruning,
but if it is getting out of control, keep the trunk and prune the long leggy branches.
Good luck
IK
How do u get the wisteria to bloom? Mine grow well but never bloom. What should I do?
Watch my wisteria video in this link:ruclips.net/video/2SUCjLlrSEA/видео.html
Also click on show more on the description box below the video and I have detailed explanation. If you follow these steps, then next year you will be rewarded with blooms, provided the tree is old enough.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers
Iqbal
Hi! I have a wisteria I started from seed. It is about 4 years old now. I am wondering if you have any suggestions for what my next step is. Do I need to repot it yet? I have it potted in regular indoor plant potting soil...if I repot it now should I use something different for soil? I have a picture of it but don’t know how to add it to this message.
If you are on fb, you can join my YT subscribers group on fb and post a pic there. Also repeat your question and the information you have post in this comment. The links is:

mikbonsai Unfortunately I did not see this reply until today. It must have gotten lost in my email. My wisteria did not make it. I am very very sad. It did survive the winter in the garage but for some reason did not survive early summer. Not sure I know exactly what happened but it slowly just died. I will eventually start over but I think I might wait until I move somewhere with a better climate.
@@anitahufham I got sad reading that although it was 2 years ago lol. I have a 30 year old wisteria, perhaps it was too hot in summer? wisterias consume a ton of water
Is it ok to plant wisteria tree in the ground, or is it preferable to leave it potted?
You can plant it in the ground to thicken the trunk and lift in in early spring when the trunk thickness has reach a level you are happy with.
Cheers
Iqbal
