How to prune osmanthus to make it bloom more

1. Pruning parallel branches

The branches and leaves of osmanthus should be clearly distinguished in terms of primary and secondary branches. The main trunk should be thick and straight, and the side branches should be evenly distributed on the main trunk in a moderate number. There should not be two branches in the same direction. If you find that one needs to be trimmed, keep only one and let it grow from opposite or oblique positions to make it evenly distributed. Keep the plant shape plump, loose, breathable and light-permeable, which will also lead to more differentiation of flower buds and make it easier to bloom.

2. Prune overcrowded branches, thin branches, and overgrown branches

Many dense and weak branches will grow on the main branches, as well as some leggy branches. These branches will consume nutrients in vain. After pruning these branches, the remaining branches will grow stronger, the flower buds will be fuller, the flowers will be more numerous, larger and more fragrant.
