Cube modeling refers to trimming the top and four sides of Photinia rubra into a relatively neat cutting surface to form a neat square. The cutting method of cube modeling is to first select the robust Photinia rubra plant, then trim the top of the plant, and then trim the surrounding branches, and then gradually in the process of growing the plant. Pruning
In the seedling stage of Phoebe robusta, it is necessary to carry out the topping work to promote the development and growth of the lateral branches of the plant. After the second topping work, the top branches of the crown will grow vigorously in the subsequent plant growth process. Therefore, during the pruning process, it is necessary to carry out heavy pruning, while the side branches should be slightly pruned to make the crown of the plant gradually lean towards the middle. Close, and then after further care, and then it will become a ball shape.
The main point of the high dry spherical shape is to strengthen the water and fertilizer management of the plant. In the first year of seedling, we should strengthen the water and fertilizer management to promote the growth height of the plant. In the second year, we should continue to increase the water and fertilizer management after pruning the lateral branches. In the third year, we should sparse all the lower lateral branches according to the height of the trunk, and then prune according to the specific shape.
