How to prune Caragana

Reasons for pruning

First of all, we should know that this plant develops very quickly and has a very strong germination ability, so it is correspondingly very resistant to pruning.

On the other hand, because it grows so fast, its branches can easily grow messy, affecting the overall shape of the plant. So, in order to make the plants more beautiful, we must prune them.

Specific methods

Every spring, before the branches sprout, it is best to give the plant a "strong pruning", that is, to cut off those weak, sick, leggy and messy branches that affect its shape.

After flowering in spring, we need to cut off or shorten the branches that have bloomed. Doing so can promote the germination of other flower branches, allowing the plant to bloom continuously or for a longer period of time.

During periods of rapid growth, the plants should be topped off, which can also make the flowers grow bigger and better. In addition, the overgrown branches can be pruned off during this period to maintain a pleasing shape.

In winter, after most of the leaves have fallen, we can see the entire shape of the plant more intuitively, so that we can better adjust its shape.

Except for the specific periods mentioned above, flexible adjustments can be made at other times. Remove long and messy branches. In addition, ensure that the crown is loose to facilitate ventilation and light transmission.

Precautions

Although you can prune at any time according to your wishes, you should also be careful not to overdo it. If there are too few branches and leaves, the plant will not be able to develop normally.
