You'd have to change its DNA because it's a vine, not a tree. That doesn't mean it can't be pruned back to resemble a tree. Eyeball it. Take some off then eyeball it again..
A vine is going to grow that way. Wisteria can get out of control unless you prune them on a regular basis and then they only look good for a few months out of the year.
Wisteria vines are not trees. You will have to severely prune it every year. Maybe train it on a trellis.
You could probably espalier it against a nice heavy solid wall of some sort. Maybe you could have an iron framework installed at the end of your deck and train it on that. And then just keep clipping it.
They are beautiful but so invasive. Cut and cut. Use tie wraps to help keep it under control. Don't worry about killing it...it wont die! You may have to cut it way back and start over to gain control, then keep after it. Good luck!
