Osmanthus fragrans can be pruned all year round with a little pruning. If large pruning is carried out, it is best to do it in the dormant period, and the specific time is1-February. Timely pruning is beneficial to overwintering, and can also promote growth and blossom more.

Pruning method of osmanthus fragrans

1, pruning at seedling stage

When the height of osmanthus fragrans is about 1.5m, the fixed branches, lateral branches and branches near the bottom of its trunk should be cut off, and other branches should also be cut off to keep the overall height at about1m.

2. Pruning in growing season

Osmanthus fragrans also needs pruning during the growth period, mainly pruning and drying the densely growing branches on the main branches. When each branch grows to a height of about 40 cm, the fixed branches should be cut off to control the growth height and make it grow more branches.

3, flowering pruning

When osmanthus trees enter full bloom, too dense branches, overlapping branches and delicate branches should be pruned, so that the growth space of branches will be larger, flowers will absorb enough light, and the ornamental value of osmanthus trees will be improved.

Step 4 prune in spring

Osmanthus fragrans may be frostbitten in winter, so it needs pruning before spring comes. In order to avoid too big a wound, scissors can be kept at 45 degrees when pruning. After pruning, the climate will gradually warm up and new branches will grow.
