Boxwood pruningThe apex of the boxwood tree is very dominant and very resistant to pruning. The branching ability of potted boxwood is relatively weak. Through proper shaping and pruning, ideal branches can be cultivated to make the tree round, symmetrical, compact and firm, thereby improving its ornamental value. Boxwood tree pruning timeThe best season to prune boxwood trees is spring and autumn. If it is done in summer and winter, the damage to the plants may be greater. It is best to prune boxwood twice a year. Boxwood cutting propagationBoxwood trees are usually pruned in spring when new shoots sprout and during the peak growth season. If they are propagated by pruning at this time, the survival rate is relatively high. Boxwood pruning method1. Pruning After the boxwood sprouts new shoots, you can pinch the top in time to control the plant height and prevent it from growing too tall. During its growth process, you need to frequently cut off those unsightly branches as well as the overgrown branches, overlapping branches, dead branches, and diseased and old branches. In addition, you should also remove the boxwood fruits in time to reduce nutrient consumption and avoid affecting the growth of the plant. 2. Modeling Before shaping the boxwood, you can first shorten its main trunk to promote the sprouting of new branches, and then tie the branches according to personal preference and the growth of the plant. If it is in spring, it is suitable to use palm silk to tie, or you can use rough tying and fine pruning, or process it into a natural tree shape. Boxwood Tree Pruning TipsAfter pruning the boxwood tree, it needs to be placed in a semi-shaded environment and maintained with good ventilation to speed up the healing of the wound. At the same time, in order to promote development, it is often necessary to add some nutrients and fertilize it appropriately to accelerate the recovery of growth. If it is in the season with high incidence of diseases and insect pests, you should also pay attention to spraying pesticides for prevention and control. |
