How to prune Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica? Pruning time and method

Pruning time for Pinus sylvestris

Larix gmelinii grows relatively fast and requires pruning. Larix gmelinii is usually planted in the Northeast, where winter comes early. In order to allow Larix gmelinii to survive the winter smoothly and maintain a good growth state, it is best to prune it in early winter.

Pruning methods and steps for Pinus sylvestris

1. During the growth period of Larix gmelinii, you can prune off overly long branches and pinch the top to promote the sprouting of side branches and maintain a compact and beautiful tree shape. One-year-old branches should be cut off, as well as diseased and dead branches, and densely grown small branches to increase the permeability inside the plant.

2. Pruning can also be done before the cold winter comes. Dead branches, crossed branches, overcrowded branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, etc. should be pruned off. Note that the pruning cuts should be flush with the growing branches. This can increase the tree's resistance to cold and ensure the safe wintering of the Larix gmelinii.

Precautions for pruning Pinus sylvestris

Larix gmelinii has a strong adaptability to the environment, but if the temperature is very low, you still need to take measures to keep warm. If the ambient temperature is low after pruning, you can cover it with some hay to keep warm, and then remove it when the weather warms up. Be careful to water after each pruning, and don't water the wound, otherwise it will cause black rot.
