Honeysuckle can be pruned in winter and after flowering. In winter, we mainly prune some long branches, thin branches and withered old branches. It is suitable for light pruning after flowering, and some non-flowering branches and dense branches can be pruned. In daily life, branches that are not conducive to the beauty of honeysuckle can be pruned. Pay attention to pruning with sterilized sharp scissors.

How and when to prune honeysuckle?

1, winter pruning

Honeysuckle needs pruning in winter, usually from June 5 to April 38 to February of the following year. At this time, we need to cut off some long branches, thin branches and withered old branches, so as to avoid the consumption of excess nutrients and be conducive to the germination and growth of new branches of honeysuckle in the next year.

2. Prune after flowering

Honeysuckle also needs pruning after flowering. At this time, light pruning can generally be carried out, mainly to cut off some non-flowering branches and too dense branches to facilitate ventilation and light transmission inside honeysuckle. Pay attention to leave strong branches so that honeysuckle can flourish.

Step 3 prune every day

The daily maintenance of honeysuckle can also be trimmed. At this time, it is mainly plastic pruning, such as topping honeysuckle to promote the growth of its lateral branches, and some branches that are not conducive to the beauty of honeysuckle can also be cut off appropriately, so that the ornamental value of honeysuckle will be higher.

4. Preventive measures

Pruning honeysuckle should not be excessive. Pruning should be carried out with sterilized sharp scissors, and the pruning time is best in sunny days, which is beneficial to wound healing. Pay attention to avoid contact with water after pruning, otherwise honeysuckle will rot easily.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the pruning time and method of honeysuckle.
