Jasmine pruning in summer

Jasmine can be pruned in the summer , which is the growing season for jasmine. The growth is very vigorous at this time. It can be pruned before the jasmine sprouts.

How to prune jasmine

Summer is the blooming season for jasmine. At this time, the plant will sprout flower buds, but it will also attract many insect pests and diseases, which will definitely affect flowering. Therefore, before flowering, it is necessary to quickly prune diseased and dead branches to make the branches and buds grow stronger, which is also conducive to the germination of flower buds.

When the jasmine flowering period is over, it is necessary to do a good job of post-flowering management. In addition to cutting off the dead flowers and leaves, it is also necessary to trim some overgrown and overly dense branches and leaves. Because the plant will not continue to grow after this, and will enter dormancy in winter, so pruning at this time is to make the plant more breathable and reduce consumption.
