Re: heading back wisteria

I planted two standard wisteria to cover my arbor three years ago - one on either end of an arbor.  I was just wondering what to do with my wisteria this year.  Now that it has covered my arbor, long thin branches are starting to sprout all over the place on top.  I have only seen one sprout from the ground and I cut it off.  I will have to heed Moira's advice and keep up with the pruning.  I may need to build myself a scaffold to reach it to prune it though.  Our summers are so hot I wanted something to cover quickly and thickly - I've got both.  For photos of my wisteria trained as a standard and covering my arbor, please see links below.  These photos are from last season.
