For the fast-growing varieties such as hongluzhen and dongfangliang, 1 / 3 of the plants can be cut down directly from the top, and the branches that are easy to block the light and grow faster can be cut off at the same time. For the slow growing but beautiful varieties such as saimudan and yuanyangfengkou, only pruning the faster growing branches can keep their good shape.

Trim method

There are many ways to prune camellia, which need to be pruned according to different varieties. For example, hongluzhen, dongfangliang and other varieties, because they grow faster, and their plants usually grow upright, we need to start pruning from the top, about a third of the height of the plants should be cut off, and some branches in the middle that are easy to block the light should be cut off as a whole, and the branches that grow faster should be cut off one more appropriately. Part of the slower growth can be cut less or not.

Trimming of other types of Camellia

There are also some varieties of Camellia, which grow slowly, but have a good shape. For example, saimudan and Yuanyang Fengkou are relatively beautiful varieties of Camellia. At this time, we need to trim the faster growing branches to make them look comfortable and keep the same length. During the growth period, the sick branches should be cut off in time. In order to ensure a good order of growth, the shoots at the top of the untrimmed branches can be cut off to branch around to increase the ornamental value. There is also a kind of five color camellia, its branches are soft and the crown is large.
