Sprouting: when sprouting, peel off the useless buds at the lower part of the trunk in time; thinning: cut off the useless branches and keep the trunk straight; short cutting: cut off the excessive top branches to keep the height of Osmanthus at about 3.5m and crown width of 2.5m-3m.

Bud buds

When Sweet osmanthus sprouts, the buds of the trunk and the base can also sprout. The useless buds at the lower part of the trunk should be peeled off in time to concentrate the water and nutrition, promote the development of the upper branches and form an ideal tree shape.

thinning

To cultivate single trunk osmanthus, it is necessary to consciously cultivate the trunk straight from the beginning of the seedlings, keep a certain height under the branch, cut off the useless branches, and generally the height under the branch of mature osmanthus is about 1.5m.

Short cut

Prune the top branches of Sweet osmanthus to keep the height of Sweet osmanthus at about 3.5 meters and the crown width of 2.5-3 meters. When transplanting Sweet osmanthus, in order to maintain a complete tree type, it is not suitable to prune strongly. Only prune the dry and dead branches, disease and insect branches, remove the overlapping branches, Cross branches and delicate branches, and control the excessive long branches.
