It is suitable for the primary stage of Sweet osmanthus in the young stage. It mainly includes twists and twigs. The former is to soften the shoots at the early stage of growth artificially, so as to change the growth direction and adjust the position. Pull branch is to coarse annual branch, pass aid of iron wire, and nail stake to the ground, control growth direction..
First of all, remove the twigs with 3 or 4 leaflets at the top of the twigs to promote multi branching, which is suitable for growing vegetative branches. Note that it is necessary to pinch the branches. If you only pinch the leaves, it will have no effect. Secondly, short cutting is the work for one-year growth of branches. After pruning, more than half of the branches are retained, which can promote the growth of buds in the upper part of the branches and promote multi branches. After pruning, the dormant buds at the lower part of the annual branches can be activated, and new long branches or flowering branches may be formed in the future. Finally, the work of retraction is for a long branch of more than two years old. Cut off the growth part of the previous year, replace the branch group, promote multi branches, and effectively control the flowering part, no longer extending year by year.
This method is suitable for the regeneration of old osmanthus. After the first two kinds of pruning, it will not have a great impact on the whole tree shape, but large-scale pruning may change the original tree shape completely. Can also be used in combination with grafting
