How is the osmanthus tree pruned and shaped?

Osmanthus tree budding and budding: budding and budding is a method of removing new shoots when they have just sprouted or when new shoots have just begun to appear, before the new shoots are lignified. This work is carried out in a timely manner, which can save a lot of organic nutrients and promote the rapid and healthy development of branches.

The focus of bud transfer is on the roots and neck of the young tree close to the ground. This should be done several times a year, especially before the spring, summer, and fall shoots bloom.

First, the method of pruning osmanthus.

1) Sulfur pruning refers to a pruning method that removes branches from their roots. Varieties with strong budding ability and branching ability are prone to canopy formation due to excessive branching and multiple growth within a year, and poor ventilation and light transmission, so dense branches should be appropriately removed. The pruning of osmanthus is generally based on thinning branches, only the outer branches that are too dense are properly thinned, and the weak branches, slender branches and diseased branches are cut off to improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions of the plants.

2) Budding refers to the method of removing a bud before it sprouts. When osmanthus sprouts, both the main stem and the base bud can germinate. Remove the shoots from the lower part of the main stem in time, concentrate nutrients and water on the upper branches, and make them thrive, grow healthily, and form the ideal tree shape.

3) Shortcuts are also called shortcuts, which means cutting off a part of a 1-year-old branch. The main function is to control the crown and shoot tips and promote lateral bud germination. When the osmanthus tree vitality and branch vigor do not grow well, it can be cut short.

According to the degree of shortcuts, it can be divided into light shortcuts, medium shortcuts and heavy shortcuts. Short branches can effectively control the canopy and promote the development of short branches.

Second, osmanthus tree pruning skills.

1) Cut off the tangled branches. Often, several branches will become entangled, leaving one and cutting off the rest.

2) Some osmanthus branches like to grow upwards, so the branches that grow upwards need to be pruned and pruned. Before pruning, decide which ones to cut and which ones to keep.

3) The thin branches in the inner cavity, leaving the lateral branches that grow outward, and cutting off the branches that grow inward.

4) Finally, modify the overall shape. Cut some particularly long and prominent branches short to soften the overall line. Carefully cut it close to the leaves. If the remaining branches are too long, the axillary buds will not grow, which will cause the entire branch to wilt.

In the process of pruning and shaping, the osmanthus tree must leave its main trunk and main branches, and other places must be pruned and pruned. After the main stem is formed, then your other branches can know and determine.

It needs to be pruned regularly, and then it should also be pruned according to the corresponding shape, and some of the rotten branches and leaves around it should be pruned clean to avoid rot.

I think it's trimmed with scissors, because it's very convenient, so we have to look at it sensibly.

1. Plants that grow very tall and lack branches and leaves in the lower part.

The 2 3 or 3 4 or more parts of the main trunk can be cut off to encourage the lower trunk to sprout new branches. In the coming year, all branches found to be long, inappropriately placed and other messy branches should be cut off to form a plump natural shape.

2. Top-heavy and overgrown trees.

The upper strong branches should be pruned about 1 4 every year. When pruning and shaping ground planting, it is necessary to cut off too dense branches, weak branches, diseased and insect branches, long branches and old branches that cannot bloom at the same time, so as to facilitate ventilation and light. All osmanthus trees that have been pruned and shaped should be strengthened with water and fertilizer management.

After shaping, clumps of budding tillers are found at the base or middle of the trunk, and the buds should be erased in time.

You can trim according to your preference, and prepare the relevant looks in advance so that you can trim.

Spring pruning: Cut off the dry branches on the osmanthus tree, and do topping treatment after the new branches sprout. Pruning after flowering:

Prune residual flowers, diseased branches, yellowing branches, and dry branches. Winter pruning: Cut off stunted thin branches and cut off excessively long branches.

Precautions: Choose to prune osmanthus trees on sunny days, and the scissors should be sharp and disinfected.

1. Spring pruning

Osmanthus tree in the spring temperature rises, will begin to germinate branch buds, at this time need to prune the new branches and old branches reasonably, first cut off the dry branches on the plant, in order to reduce the loss of nutrients, promote the germination of new shoots, new branches after germination in time to do topping treatment, from the top of the main branch to cut off 3-4 cm.

2. Prune after flowering

When the flowering period of the osmanthus tree is over, first of all, all the remaining flowers on it should be cut off from the base to promote the recovery of the plant's growth, if it is found that diseased branches, yellowing branches or dry branches should also be cut off together, to ensure that the osmanthus tree can safely overwinter, and enhance the aesthetics at the same time.

3. Winter pruning

Osmanthus tree likes a warm climate environment, the temperature decreases after winter, the growth of the plant basically stops, in order to promote the germination of branches and leaves in the next year, it needs to be re-pruned, all the weak branches that are stunted are cut off, and the branches that are too long are truncated, and some dense branches are thinned to make the nutrients fully concentrated.

4. Precautions

When pruning osmanthus trees, it is recommended to choose to carry out in sunny days, the speed of wound healing is faster, if you choose to prune in rainy days, the cutting is easy to be infected with germs, which is not conducive to plant development, and you need to prepare sharp and sterilized scissors before pruning, and ensure that the cut is smooth when pruning.

Spring pruning, after the temperature rises in spring every year, it is necessary to prune off the dry branches on the osmanthus tree to promote the germination of new shoots; Prune after the flowering period, and prune the residual flowers that have failed in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients; Prune after winter, prune off dry branches after winter, and prune off diseased branches when they are found. Note: Pruning should be done on a sunny day so that the wound can heal as soon as possible.

After the temperature rises in spring every year, the osmanthus tree begins to sprout new shoots, and it needs to be pruned in time after the new shoots grow. It is necessary to prune off the dry branches on the branches of the osmanthus tree to promote the germination of new shoots. After the new branches germinate, it is necessary to carry out topping treatment, pruning off 3 5 cm from the top of the main trunk, in order to control the growth height of the osmanthus tree, so that the nutrients are concentrated to the new branches that grow strongly.

After the osmanthus tree blooms and fails, it is necessary to prune the residual flowers that have failed to prune to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption. The residual flowers are less ornamental and will continue to consume nutrients. If diseased branches and dry branches are found on the osmanthus flowers, they should also be cut off together, so that the osmanthus trees can survive the winter smoothly.

Osmanthus trees are suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the temperature decreases after winter, and the growth of osmanthus trees is in a state of stagnation, and reasonable pruning is needed to make it successfully overwinter. It is necessary to prune off the branches with poor growth, and shorten the long branches, and appropriately thin the branches that grow too densely to ensure that the inside has strong ventilation and light transmission.

Pay attention to the pruning of the osmanthus tree, which should be carried out on a sunny day so that the wound can heal as soon as possible. When pruning, it is necessary to use sterilized sharp scissors, and sterilization and disinfection should be carried out before use to avoid infection of the wound. It is also necessary to ensure that the wound is smooth so that the incision can heal as soon as possible.

Pruning method of osmanthus tree:

1. Pruning in early spring: When it grows new shoots in early spring, it needs to be pruned once. At this time, the dry branches of the plant should be cut first, and then the top 3-5 cm of the main branch should be cut off along with the new shoots.

This encourages it to grow more new branches, which makes it grow more densely.

2. Pruning after flowering: After its flowers wither, it needs to be cut off immediately. If there are diseased branches, they can be cut off as well. This allows it to save more nutrients, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

3. Winter pruning: In winter, it grows very slowly and is not easy to be injured by pruning. So you can do a re-cut.

At this point, you can cut off all the branches that are not growing well, cut the branches that are too long short, and cut the branches that are too dense. This is more beneficial for it to grow in the coming year.

Precautions: when pruning osmanthus trees, it is recommended to choose to carry out in sunny days, the speed of wound healing is faster, if you choose to prune in rainy days, the cutting place is easy to be infected with germs, which is not conducive to plant development, and you need to prepare sharp and sterilized scissors before pruning, and ensure that the cutting edge is smooth when pruning.

There are three main periods of the year when osmanthus flowers need to be pruned. The first stage is in March-April every year, when it grows new shoots. The second section is from October to November, after the flowers have gone. The third period of winter dormancy is in January-February.

Pruning osmanthus trees is mainly considered from four aspects: pruning time, pruning object, pruning degree, and post-pruning maintenance.

How to prune the osmanthus tree, first of all, we need to know when to prune the osmanthus tree is the best. Pruning osmanthus trees can be movement throughout the year, but we must know that pruning must be carried out in those periods, the first time is in the beginning of spring every year, pruning can promote the growth of plants, and the second time is after the flowering period of the plant, pruning is conducive to the dormancy of the plant.

2. Trim object:

For the pruning of osmanthus trees, the plants will usher in the peak growing season at the beginning of spring, and the pruning at this time is mainly for the stunted and long branches, and the pruning after the flowering period of the plants is mainly for the residual flowers. The purpose of pruning is to reduce the loss of nutrients and promote the growth of plants.

3. Degree of pruning:

In the process of cultivating osmanthus, we must control the degree of pruning, excessive pruning not only can not achieve the purpose of pruning, but also affect the normal growth of plants. In general, the degree of pruning is determined according to the growth of the plant, and the balance of the branches on both sides of the plant should be ensured, so that the plant has a more prominent growth and higher ornamental value.

4. Post-cutting maintenance:

After pruning the osmanthus flowers, we should strengthen the management of the plants, control the light, water and temperature, so that the plants can recover quickly, and only after the plants resume their growth can we increase the light appropriately. Do not rush to fertilize after pruning, choose a thin liquid fertilizer to apply a small amount after one month of planting to reduce the impact of fertilization on the plant.

Pruning method: The end face of the cut should avoid the large surface and the branch tangent at an angle of 45 degrees, and the leaf buds should be left in the upper side direction of the oblique edge. During the growth period, it can be pruned close to the leaf buds to facilitate wound healing. In the non-growing period, it can be pruned at the upper end of the leaf buds.

Positioning scissors: refers to the first pruning of osmanthus shapes, to determine the retention of branches in different positions, and to cut off excess branches. After the stump is cultivated and survived, many branches germinate, and most of the branches must be cut off to retain the backbone branches required for modeling, which is called positioning scissors.

After positioning the shears, the number and position of the branches and the distance between the branches were determined, which directly affected the morphological beauty of the osmanthus bonsai. Therefore, before pruning, it is necessary to carefully conceive, consider the form of tree modeling, the so-called "intention is the pen first", and at the same time, it is necessary to "be confident" before cutting. Because the choice of branches depends on the establishment of the treescape form.

The retained branches should grow robustly, and the thickness of the upper and lower parts should be coordinated, and parallel, symmetrical, and overlapping should be avoided as much as possible, so that they should be dense and compact, and they should be around the main trunk up and down, left and right, and have momentum.

Pruning: It is a pruning method that shortens the branches, and is also an important measure for tree modeling and tree landscaping. In terms of modeling, the trees are dwarfed by shrinking and pruning, the branches are plump, the thickness is moderate from top to bottom, and the bending is changing, so the modeling should pay attention to three points:

The ratio of the thickness transition between the pruned stem and the upper branch is suitable;

When shrinking, leave the direction and angle of the bud eye to adjust the new branch to occupy a reasonable space position;

The first branch is longer than the second section, and the second branch is longer than the third branch. From the perspective of maintaining the tree landscape, most of the osmanthus bonsai that are formed need to be shrunk from the long branches extracted during the growing season every year to maintain the posture of beauty.

Osmanthus bonsai mainly relies on bud picking and topping to control the ultra-long branches and maintain the original appearance. It can be shrunk during the dormant period, but not during the growth period. During the dormant period, strong pruning is carried out to remove various taboo branches.

During the seedling period, it is necessary to prune off the young leaves that grow at the top of the treetops to make the branches and leaves grow more vigorously; To prune weak branches, it is necessary to prune off diseased branches and thin branches in time to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption; To thinn the branches and leaves, it is necessary to thin the branches and leaves that grow too densely to improve the ventilation and light transmittance between the branches and leaves; Replenish nutrients, after pruning, apply a diluted rotten organic fertilizer to supplement nutrients.

When the osmanthus tree seedlings grow to 2 3 meters, they can be topped and pruned to prune off the shoots that grow at the top of the treetops, so as to promote the branches to sprout more new shoots and make the branches and leaves grow more vigorously. In addition, topping pruning should be carried out in autumn every year, when the osmanthus tree is in the vigorous growth period, and the plant can resume growth as soon as possible after pruning.

During the growth period of the osmanthus tree, if there are branches and leaves that do not grow well or are infected with diseases, it is necessary to prune off the diseased branches and thin branches in time to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption, so that the nutrients are concentrated in the growing strong branches, so that the growth of the osmanthus tree becomes more robust.

When the branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree grow luxuriantly, the growth rate of the plant will slow down, so it is necessary to thin the long and dense branches and leaves in time to improve the ventilation and light transmittance between the branches and leaves, so that the osmanthus tree can carry out photosynthesis normally and promote the differentiation of flower buds.

After the pruning of the osmanthus tree is completed, the branches will become thinner, during which it is necessary to apply a well-rotted organic fertilizer to replenish nutrients, so that the branches and leaves can resume growth as soon as possible. Pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer when fertilizing, so as to avoid fertilizer damage, so that the branches and leaves of osmanthus trees appear yellow and wilted.
