What shapes can Photinia fraseri be trimmed into?

Types of shapes of Photinia fraseri

Cube shape

The cube shape refers to trimming the top and four sides of the Photinia fraseri into relatively neat cut surfaces to form a neat square. The pruning method of the cube shape is to first select a strong Photinia fraseri plant, then trim the top of the plant, and then trim the side branches around it, and then gradually trim it again as the plant grows.

Short ball shape

Topping is necessary when the red-leafed photinia is in its seedling stage to promote the development and growth of the plant's side branches. After the second topping, the branches on the top of the crown will grow more vigorously during the subsequent growth of the plant. Therefore, heavy pruning is required during the pruning process, and light pruning is required on the side branches to gradually move the plant's crown toward the middle. After further care, it will become a spherical shape.

High-stem spherical shape

The main point of the high-stem spherical shape is to strengthen the water and fertilizer management of the plant. In the first year of the seedling stage, water and fertilizer management should be strengthened to promote the growth height of the plant. After pruning the side branches in the second year, continue to increase water and fertilizer management. In the third year, all the lower side branches should be thinned out according to the height of the main trunk, and then pruned according to the specific shape.

Hedge shape

Prune the Photinia fraseri according to the height of the hedge. The hedge shaping requires neatly trimming the top. Its sides can be trimmed into a rectangle or trapezoid, and the side trimming requirements are also vertical trimming.
