Cut tops back to encourage the vine to branch and be less top heavy. Select cultivars that are not as invasive. C. x tagliabuana ‘Madame Galen’ is a large-blooming hybrid with deep-apricot flowers. C. radicuns flava has bright yellow flowers that humming birds love.
* Wisteria (Wisteria sp.): pruning stems to three or four buds each tear promotes new growth and flowers. The tops can be cut back to induce branching. If allowed to grow unmanaged, wisteria can do serious damage to trees or built structures due to weight and/or shading.
