    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.

    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.
