How to prune wintersweet in summer

1. Pruning method

1. Leggy branches: When pruning in summer, focus on pruning some longer branches and shorten the overly long branches appropriately. The purpose of doing this is to reduce the loss of nutrients and promote better flowering in the future.

2. Useless branches: Some plants do not grow very well, and may have dry, weak, or densely growing branches. Such unhealthy branches should also be pruned off at this time, and the denser branches can be thinned out appropriately.

3. Diseased and insect-infested branches: They are easily attacked by diseases and insects in summer. Once attacked, they must be cut off as soon as possible, and all the damaged parts must be cut off. Be careful when pruning diseased branches and try not to let bacteria infect the pruning ends.

2. Precautions

1. The scissors used for pruning must be disinfected first, because the plants are very weak after pruning and are easily infected by bacteria, so the pruning tools must be kept clean enough.

2. After completing the pruning work, it is necessary to carry out proper maintenance and finally prevent the wound from coming into contact with water. The climate in summer is hot and humid, and plants are easily infected and develop black rot after coming into contact with water.
