During the growth of pine trees, we can cut off redundant branches, some weak branches, cross branches, dense branches and overlapping branches, trim and adjust the main branches, and do a good job in bud picking. One-third to one-half of the long bud points at the top of the branches can be removed to make the nutrient distribution more uniform, and the dense and overlapping branches and leaves should be thinned to ensure ventilation and light transmission.

Pine pruning time

The pruning time of pine trees is best in winter, when it is dormant. Although it is still evergreen, the growth rate will slow down. Pruning at this time will reduce the possibility of breeding pests and diseases, and also avoid the loss of excessive juice at the incision. Pruning of pine trees is conducive to promoting balanced growth and improving ornamental value.

Pine pruning method

1, pruning branches

Before pruning pine trees, the pruning direction and general shape should be determined according to the overall shape. In the growing period, you can cut off the redundant branches, some weak branches, cross branches, dense branches and overlapping branches, trim and adjust the main branches, and wrap the cut mouth with white tape after pruning, which can protect the trees.

2, bud picking treatment

Pine trees need to pick buds well. It can remove one-third to one-half of the long bud points at the top of the branches, so that the nutrient distribution is more uniform, the original branches and leaves are denser, and the branches are stronger.

3. Leaf thinning management

Pine trees should also pay attention to leaf thinning management, and use tweezers to remove dead leaves or unsightly leaves. If the branches and leaves grow densely, it is necessary to trim the dense branches, cross branches and overlapping branches, which can make the ventilation and light transmission better.
