How to pinch the four-season plum

1. The importance of pinching

This step is usually called "topping" and is a very important step. It mainly regulates the main branches and side branches. When the main branches grow to a certain extent, the growth points at the top need to be removed. It has many benefits, such as controlling the height of the entire plant and promoting the sprouting of side branches. In addition, it can also promote the development of flowers and fruits and so on.

Second, the number of times to pick

During the entire growth process, the number of times should not be too many. Generally speaking, it needs to be picked when it reaches seven to eight centimeters in height. After that, you can make a decision based on the specific growth trends.

3. Other aspects of pruning

1. In addition to pinching, other types of branches also need to be pruned, such as shortening branches that grow too long. If some branches grow very densely or messily, you need to cut off some of them appropriately. The plants may also become sick and suffer from pests, so these branches must be pruned off in time.

2. Then comes the pruning of flowers. This is mainly after flowering. After the flowers have faded, they should be cut off and not allowed to remain on the branches.
