Pruning new-ish wisteria

New Franken, WI

I live in zone 5 (NE Wisconsin) & planted 2 wisteria on my new pergola in 2007. It's growing nicely (& bloomed, last year & this) but I am wondering about pruning it at the bottom. It keeps sending up new shoots and I am thinking I don't want it to get all bushy at the bottom. Generally though when one prunes back, doesn't that encourage branching? Advice please?

Piedmont, SC(Zone 7b)

I would cut it back. I had one years ago and know that you have to cut back what ever you need to.
