With weeping ones, I prefer the height to add up, so I will leave vertical stems if they are short ones. But may cut them off if they look like whips. Just planted another red leaf one at out own home this week, looking forward to the spring leaves. Japanese maple are one of my favorite landscaping trees near Portland, Oregon, to prune.

From my understanding, Epicormic growth is essentially a branch that has tapped into the main root, and it grows exponentially faster then the rest of the branches. Usually, it is discolored as well, and has other strange properties. You won't get any Epicormic growth until the main branch is established. SO what you see is probably normal growth behavior.

Is it possible to have epicorm growth with no main trunk? If so, can it be pruned in any way to develop into a tree? It's now about 10' tall. I'd appreciate your expertise.

Like most vines, they seem to do well on their own. If you're really concerned, mulch the base of the plant, late in Autumn, then clear the mulch out over the spring. The key with Wisteria, is that you can cut the vine down to it's base, and as long as the roots are established, it will grow with more vigor. So I think, just wait and see. Hi Donna,
