The growth of cherry blossoms is relatively natural, and the general tree shape is mainly natural and jubilant. When pruning and shaping, it is generally light cutting, keeping the natural tree shape, requiring dense branches, many side branches and symmetry.
2. Pruning methods of cherry blossoms
Pruning cherry blossoms can first fix the flower stems. When the cherry blossom plants grow to a suitable length, some of them can be kept, leaving the trunk, the rest can be cut off, and the branches below can also be cut off.
3. The dormant period can shorten the remaining branches by one third, and keep the branches of each trunk distributed reasonably. After growing for about two years, more branches will grow on the trunk, which can be pruned continuously, the trunk can be kept, the branches can be thinned, and the lateral branches can be adjusted according to the master-slave relationship.
4. After the cherry saplings are basically shaped, pruning generally only needs light cutting. Generally, the formed trunk does not need to be cut short, and the new branches are kept, and the flower branches generally do not need to be trimmed. After several years of growth, the crown will expand more and need to be properly retracted. Branches in the middle and lower part of the main branch will be trimmed to make the lower part germinate again, and the side branches with lower branch points will be cut off year by year.
