How to prune ash trees

1. Remove yellow leaves

There are also small leaves growing on the stems of the ash wood. Due to the influence of metabolism during the growth process, yellow leaves will inevitably appear. Continuing to let it grow on it will affect the appearance and will also affect the growth of the plant. When you find these yellow leaves, you need to cut them off in time and not leave them there. Just cut it off from the base of the leaves. Be sure to use sharp scissors and move quickly and efficiently.

2. Short Cut

Shortening is an important step in pruning. It is not easy to branch and may keep growing upwards, which is not beautiful at all. So when the ash wood grows to a certain height, it needs to be shortened. This way, nutrients can be accumulated and supplied to other places, which can promote branch growth and make the whole plant shape more beautiful.

3. Prune the roots

After 1-2 years of growth and maintenance, the plant needs to be repotted. At the same time as repotting and changing the soil, the roots can be pruned. After taking out the ash tree, first cut off the old and rotten roots, and then remove some of the densely growing roots to prevent affecting later growth. After that, you can replant it.
