My wysteria didn't bloom last year. It is very unruly and on a 12' high trellised fence. It is very old. When I moved here in 1986 there were seven wysteria trunks spaced out along a 50 yard long fence. The trunks were 8" to 20" diameter but all were rotten with a million suckers coming up around each dead trunk. I tore out the rotten trunks and cut back suckers to the largest two or 3 each. All the years since I trim it back when it gets in trees or starts to reach the house, but last year it didn't flower. I was worried about it and after admiring so many other wysteria in beautiful gardens I was hoping to get someone to come out and help me with mine and get it in good shape. I hired "a specialist" who came over a couple weeks ago. (I found him from Eagle Rock Gardens where he had just pruned a wysteria there). His fee $100 the first hour and $65 an following hours was high but I decided I needed a specialist and figured I had found one. He looked at it and told me to feed it with "flowering-bush granuals and water them in" (I didn't find at the store) and told me "don't touch it for a year". Since I already only touch it when it gets out of control I found the information very unsatisfactory. I think I need someone who knows even more and thought I should trim it after it blooms (and I do see some possible blossoms starting). Do you know when it should be trimmed and exactly what kind of fertilizers I should be looking for? If you know of any possible place for me to look for experienced trimmers of wysteria, I would love to hire someone who will attack it when the time is right. Thanks so much for reading and answering, Debie
