Pruning of honeysuckle

Four seasons honeysuckle with six years of age has grown into a tree shape. It has been planted in vegetable fields for three years, and then moved to flowerpots for another three years. This kind of honeysuckle and green branches are not too many. Is it necessary to trim them? Yes, it's only when it's trimmed that it's more leafy.

The first branch of this honeysuckle is the trunk. When it grows to one person's height, it has been beheaded. The second branch grows on the first branch, and the third branch grows on the second branch. These three branches can be kept according to their own needs. Generally speaking, the new shoots and new branches sprouting on the first, second and Third branches can blossom more and stronger. The old branches do not blossom basically, and they need to be scattered. So at the end of last year, four fifths of the branches above the third level have been cut, leaving only a few. This pruning is to remove all the branches.

Generally speaking, there will be new shoots at the root of each old branch, so the best choice is to always replace the new peach with the old one.

So the four old branches in front of you should be all chattering away. Don't be reluctant to give up. Only when you give up can you have them.

Pruning should be done from the bottom up, and every branch should be cleaned carefully. After the repair, check again to see if there are any missed fish. Most of the cut branches are useless and not suitable for cutting. One is that the temperature is too low to take root easily. The other is that the branches are aged and unhealthy and lack of vitality, which is not as good as the branches of the year after flowering.

A month later, these little honeysuckle seedlings have grown to more than 50 cm high. At this time, they need to be led onto the anti-theft net with ropes. Many friends' balconies are semi closed. They need to be helped to climb up more than one meter below. When they are on the anti-theft net, such as fish get water, there is no need to pull them. In the process of pulling the rope, the lower leaves and new buds should be wiped out. Generally, only two or three pairs of leaves can be left. After that, the action should be repeated continuously until the anti-theft net is climbed and then another treatment should be made.
