It can be climbed and folded into natural shapes such as oblique trunk or straight trunk, with construction as the main method and coiling as the auxiliary method.

Pruning period

Spring is best from April to May. Generally, the "branch-growing and trunk-cutting method" is adopted, that is, the main branches are first cultivated to a thickness suitable for pruning, and then a section is cut off from each main branch. The cut branches are the first branch nodes. The secondary branch that grows on its basis is the second branch. By analogy and repeating the cycle, you can achieve a winding, vigorous and elegant effect.
