Generally, pruning is divided into growth period pruning and dormancy period pruning. We need to remove the dead or dead places and the dense places. According to the shape of the tree and personal hobbies, we need to cut the branches to make it grow more beautiful.

I. growing period pruning

1. When it is growing, prune it. First, remove the damaged branch or the diseased branch in time. In the past, the missing branches or excessively long branches should be slightly shorter.

2. Remove the buds in time after germination in spring, and the buds on the previously cut branches can be left. Buds on branches or trunks can be removed unless they are used to plump the tree.

3. Timely cut off the tiller buds that affect the shape and growth trend of the tree, and cut off some branches that are too dense. When pruning, we can make a proper choice according to the tree type, the number of branches and so on, so as to make it grow more beautiful.

4. After the long flower, cut it short in time to help it grow new branches, make the shape of the tree more beautiful, and increase the times of its long flower

II. Pruning in dormancy period

1. In order to make its appearance more beautiful, it is necessary to trim it moderately, but only the right way can make its flowers more beautiful. First of all, we need to help it to get rid of dead or dead branches, to get rid of the disorderly branches inside the tree, and to cut some crazy branches.

2. Get rid of the thin and thin branches. The thick branches can be cut short. The parts with new buds can be left. The length depends on the thickness of the branches. Generally, three to five buds can be left on a branch. The thicker the branch, the more buds can be left.

3. For the branches that have not been pruned for many years or have been pruned badly, retract them. Especially if the tree is too high and the crown is too partial, it needs to be updated by retraction.

4. If it is clustered, its branches will be very dense, and some branches will wither. You can comb and cut it, remove the dense parts, and leave a sparse place. The cut branches should be pulled out from above, not jerked out, or other branches and buds will be damaged. If the shape of the tree is not good, you can wait until the buds at the bottom grow out, leaving three or five branches to reshape.
