How to prune & wire a Wisteria Bonsai?
Reduce new shoots to two or three sets of leaves a couple of times throughout the year and cut back branches that are too long in late summer. Do not pinch out a wisteria because this will result in extra straggling shoots that don’t produce flowers. Avoid pruning in early spring or after later summer because this will remove the potential flower buds. If you don’t want to collect seeds, remove the seed pods once they appear because they weaken the tree. After flowering, cut it back hard and remove about half of the flower-bearing stubs. Allow the wisteria to grow freely after this but cut back the long shoots and tendrils to two or three buds once they become too long, as mentioned before.
You can also thin out the wisteria canopy when it gets a little dense in summer and the inner twigs and leaves begin to suffer.

Wisteria is best shaped through pruning and they do not require wiring.
