Osmanthus fragrans pruning method

Osmanthus fragrans pruning method

Strong

When making Osmanthus fragrans bonsai, you can make it into a strong type. This shape of Osmanthus fragrans has a strong shape, full branches, and grows very vigorously. However, this also has a big disadvantage. The branches are too dense, ventilation and light transmission are very poor, and the growth of branches and leaves will also be poor.

For this type of plant, you can adopt the method of thinning out to prune away weak branches and overly dense branches, as well as diseased and dead branches. When pruning, the main and side branches should be clearly defined, and the branches should be evenly distributed so that the entire crown remains neat and round.

Sickly

This type of sickly tree is very weak, with many diseased and dead branches, and the branches are messy, with few new branches. The leaves are thin and small, with a dull color. When repotting, you can find that there are fewer new roots.

When pruning, it is necessary to maintain the original shape of Osmanthus fragrans, and appropriately shorten and thin out the branches, following the principle of removing the weak and retaining the strong, and cut off the excess branches. Then strengthen management to encourage the sprouting of new roots and maintain the balance of the tree.

Old tree type

The so-called old tree type refers to the tree that is already relatively old in growth age. The tree shape of this Osmanthus fragrans sometimes appears bare at the bottom, because its branches are usually used for reproduction, the branching part begins to move upward, and some branches have already decayed.

For this type of tree shape, you can adopt the method of annual pruning to put pressure on the main trunk and make new branches sprout at the base.
