Young age pruning

During the young stage of wolfberry, proper pruning helps the plant to take shape.

Pruning during the young stage mainly involves cutting off the sprouting young shoots and pinching the tops. Pinching can increase the branches of wolfberry and make the plant fuller.

Pruning during mature stage

Pruning during the adult stage of wolfberry is mainly to adjust the growth relationship between branches, balance the tree vigor, control the crown, renew branches, etc., so that its growth is more reasonable and the plant shape is more perfect.

Pruning during flowering period

Four seasons pruning

Pre-winter pruning

Before entering winter, wolfberry can be pruned, mainly cutting off fallen leaves and fruits, so that it presents a strong winter tree shape, which is very ornamental.

When pruning, remove the rhizomes and excess sprouts of the plant, shorten the branches on the upper layer of the crown, leaving only 20cm, and cut off the overgrown branches.
