Morning everyone,
Can you help me with my chinese wisterias please. I have 3 in different parts of the garden, they are approx 4 years old and none of them have ever flowered. I have followed the summer and winter pruning rule ever year and although I know that they can take 7-10 years to flower I am losing patience and thinking of digging them up this year if I dont get flowers and buying some already in bud. Last wek I gave them there winter prune and I have uploaded some pictures, could you please advise if I need to prune them down a bit more, maybe just to 2 buds and also do I prune them from he old wood or the new wood. Many thanks.
