1. How to trim1. Determine the shape: Before pruning, you must first determine what shape you want. Generally, elm trees have various shapes, such as straight trunk, slanted trunk, curved trunk, cliff shape, jungle shape, wind-blown shape, and stone-attached shape. After determining the shape, pruning can make the plant achieve the desired effect. 2. Pruning branches: After the shape is determined, don't rush to prune it. First of all, you need to prune off the dead branches, diseased branches, weak branches, etc. of the plant to avoid affecting the normal growth of the plant. Then cut off useless branches such as overgrown branches, crossed branches, parallel branches, reverse branches, top branches, radiating branches, opposite branches, vertical branches, etc. that interfere with the shape of the tree. Finally, prune the plant to the desired shape. It should be noted that the incision should be smooth to facilitate healing. 3. Optimize details: For basically formed plants, just optimize the details. Those pointed branches and leaves should be pruned or removed by picking buds to avoid the elm tree's branches and leaves becoming disordered and crossed, which affects the ornamental effect. 2. Pruning methods for large and small elmsThe pruning methods for large and small elm trees are similar. Pruning is mainly for aesthetics, so necessary branches should be retained, and useless branches such as overgrown branches and reverse branches that affect the shape should be cut off to keep the plant beautiful. Before pruning, you need to cut off dead branches, diseased branches, and weak branches to reduce water transpiration and avoid affecting the normal growth of the plant. However, the young elm tree has a strong germination ability, grows quickly, and has not yet taken shape, so it needs regular pruning to maintain its beautiful shape. Large elm trees only need to be pruned regularly. |
