My wisteria vine is 3 yrs. old and seemingly healthy. It grows up a post to the deck above and spreads out along the deck railing. It has not bloomed yet. I have never pruned it but will do so this fall. Will it bloom next spring after I prune it?
It can take wisteria a few years before it blooms, but sometimes it is helpful to give it a little push. This article will give you some tips on how to do that:

I have had my Wisteria Vine for 3 years. It grows beautiful but hasn't any flowers as of yet.
This is actually a common complaint with this vine. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/wisteria-blooming-problems.htm
I have some wisteria vines (5 main ones) that are approximately 8-10 years old and growing up onto our pergola over our deck. These are huge and growing well, and I am managing the growth out of the pergola through training and pruning. This spring I planted some new greenery away from several of the main vines (approximately 1-8 feet away) and cut through some of the roots of the wisteria. Over the past couple months the cut (distal portion) of the vines are budding new sprouts from the cut end and growing new vines. How can I “kill” the distal root and keep this from happening, or can I seal or “carterize” the end to keep this from continuing? I have trimmed the new shoots right off the root several times over the last couple months but new growth continues to happen (and growing very fast, up to 12-14 inches within a couple weeks).
There is no fool proof way to prevent this. It is the nature of the plant (and what can make wisteria frustrating). A risky procedure is to paint the cut from removed sucker shoots with roundup. The plant will suck this in and it will kill the roots creating the suckers. The danger is that the plant will pull the herbicide into its whole system and kill the whole plant. In most cases, this method will not kill the plant, but there is a chance it could.
My wisteria is 5 years old and has never bloomed. It's growing great. Can I prune it back or should I wait till it blooms? It is kind of getting out of control and I keep feeding it onto the trellis, but I am thinking after reading that I need to thin it out and get it under control. However, I don't want to delay it from blooming since I have never had it bloom. It had a bloom on it when I bought it. So confused, please help. Thank you.

We moved into this house in MI about four years ago. A mature wisteria vine covers an arbor. It has never flowered. Is there any way to get this to flower?
I would guess that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is off. The soil may have an abundance of nitrogen, which would result in nice, healthy green growth but little to no blooms. Without the right amount of phosphorus, it will not bloom well. Bone meal is a great way to add phosphorus.
