How to prune plum blossoms and when to prune them

1. When to prune

It is best to prune the plants at the beginning of spring. At this time, the branches have just sprouted, grow faster, and consume more nutrients than old branches. In addition, the plants grow vigorously at this time and their wound healing ability is relatively strong.

2. How to prune

1. When the new branches of the plant grow to about 4 cm, you can pick off the new buds on the top to promote the growth of nearby branches.

2. The plant has been preparing for the blooming of flowers in the summer. At this time, the dense branches need to be cut off, because too many branches will block the penetration of light and will also over-consume some nutrients. Pruning will be more conducive to the germination of flower buds.

3. After the plant has finished blooming and shedding its leaves, the dead flowers and messy branches should be pruned off in time. In addition, some of the weaker branches of the plant should also be pruned off. This will help the plant to recuperate.
