How to Prune Boxwood

Boxwood sprouts quickly. Generally, after the new shoots grow, you need to cut off 1-2 nodes at the tip to prevent the branches from growing too long. During its growth process, it is necessary to frequently cut off the excess branches, overgrown branches, overlapping branches, dead branches and diseased branches that will affect the beauty of the tree shape. In addition, boxwood fruits should be removed in time to avoid affecting the growth of the tree due to nutrient consumption and loss. >

Before shaping the boxwood, you can first cut off its main trunk to encourage new branches to sprout around or below the cross-section, and then climb and tie branches according to personal preferences and artistic requirements. If it is spring, it is suitable to use palm silk to climb, or you can use thick tying and fine cutting to make cloud-like or steamed bun-like shapes, or process them into natural tree shapes. The main trunk can be processed into various shapes according to its natural trend, such as slanted trunk, withered trunk, curved trunk, etc. At the same time, the roots can be gradually raised as needed to achieve the excellent effect of hanging roots and exposed claws. If the boxwood pile is decorated with beautiful stones, it can become a "boxwood tree leaning forward".
