Hongmei is a kind of plum blossom. As an ornamental flower, red plum needs to be pruned frequently to maintain its beautiful appearance and prosperity. But many people don't know how to prune cranberries. Let me tell you!

Pruning method of red plum Pruning should start from seedlings. When the seedlings grow to 20 ~ 25 cm long, the top should be cut off and 3 ~ 5 branches should be left as main branches after germination. When the main branches grow to 10 ~ 15cm, they should be pruned to promote the branches to be strong and flower buds to form.

Prune red plums after flowering. When the flowers wither, leave 2 ~ 3 buds from the base. When the new branches grow to 5 ~ 6 leaves, pick the heart and leave only 3 ~ 4 leaves to promote the growth of more flower branches. Prune repeatedly every year to enrich branches and increase buds.

Pruning should be carried out within 0 ~ 2 weeks after flowering. But at this time, the flowers and trees have begun to grow, the liquid flow is relatively strong, and the pruning amount should not be too large. Hongmei is one of these flowers and trees, which should be pruned within 1 2 weeks after the flowers wither.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the pruning of red berries. The flower buds of red plum were generally formed in summer and autumn last year. If pruned before germination in early spring, the flower branches will be cut off or the flower buds will be aborted.

As a series of real plums mainly for viewing, pruning of red plums can promote full and thick branches and more beautiful flowers. So if you like to grow cranberries, you can't do it without pruning!

Identification method of Chimonanthus Chimonanthus belongs to Chimonanthus of Chimonanthaceae, and Prunus of Rosaceae belongs to different families and genera. Because both of them have the word "plum", both of them bloom first and then grow leaves, both of them are fragrant, and both of them bloom in winter and spring, so many people often mistake them for the same species.

In fact, the difference between the two is very big, mainly in the following four points:

1, different colors: Chimonanthus praecox is mainly sallow, while plum blossom has white, pink, deep river, purple and other colors.

2. Different flowering periods: Generally, Chimonanthus praecox blooms in the twelfth lunar month, about two months earlier than Plum Blossom.

3. Different crown: Chimonanthus praecox is a shrub with many branches, upright branches and a well-developed root neck. Chimonanthus praecox is a tree with a trunk, which is as high as 10 m and often has thorns. In addition to straight branches, there are vertical branches with irregular crown and round head.

4. Different leaves: Chimonanthus praecox leaves are opposite, nearly leathery, rectangular, entire, with rough upper surface and green, smooth and gray back; However, the leaves of plum blossom alternate, Ye Guang is ovoid to ovoid, 4- 10 cm long, the tip or tail tip gradually tapers, the edge has thin and sharp serrations, the base is wide wedge-shaped or nearly round, both sides are pubescent, and then it falls off more. The growing new leaves only have hairs on the veins on the back of the leaves, but most of them are in the axils of the leaves.

Plum blossom and wintersweet are two different plant families. There are many kinds of plum blossoms, among which Jiangnan produces the best. Japanese cherry blossom is a close relative of plum blossom, red plum is a kind of plum blossom, and red plum in Sichuan is almost tasteless. Chimonanthus praecox is just another plant. Plum blossoms bloom about a month later than wintersweet. The poem "Plum blossoms are covered with snow" is inappropriate. In fact, most of the snow plum receives is the last snow in winter. Plum blossoms and wintersweet are actually very delicate. They don't like warmth, heat and humidity. Zhu Kezhen, a famous meteorologist, made a statistic of plum blossoms in ancient literature, including poems, and came to the conclusion that the temperature in ancient China began to get cold in the Tang Dynasty. Today, plum and wintersweet only bloom in the Yangtze River valley.

Chimonanthus praecox and Chimonanthus praecox grow on the branches in the dead of winter, but the fragrance of Chimonanthus praecox is much stronger. Therefore, Lin Hejing's "wife of Chimonanthus praecox"-"faint fragrance and thin shadow" should refer to Chimonanthus praecox, not Chimonanthus praecox planted on Hanggu Mountain.

Plum blossom is a variety of ornamental tree species, and different varieties have different flowering habits and budding and branching abilities. In the process of pruning, different pruning methods should be adopted for different varieties. For varieties with short flower branches, such as' Qianlv Calyx' and' Subaitaige', measures should be taken to cut lightly and release slowly, so as to avoid forming a large number of redundant branches due to excessive pruning, unnecessarily consuming nutrients and affecting the quantity, quality and flowering effect of flowers. However, varieties with long flowering branches, such as' dancing cinnabar' and' jumping snow and hanging branches', should be pruned again to promote the germination of medium and long branches.

The budding and branching ability of plum blossoms also varies with different varieties. True plum varieties have strong branching ability and can be cut again appropriately. Apricot and plum varieties such as' Hou Feng' and' Danfenghou' germinate.

The ability of branches is weak, so keep more annual branches and cut them short appropriately, and cut them as little as possible, otherwise the tree will not recover in a few years.

No matter how old the tree is, avoid pruning.

Plum blossom is a long-lived tree species, which can reach hundreds or even thousands of years. The growth situation at different growth stages is different, and the purpose and technical requirements of pruning are also different.

Young trees grow vigorously, so pruning should aim at expanding crown, relaxing tree vigor and blooming early, and should be lightly pruned.

Branches grow slowly and bloom in large numbers. When pruning, we should solve the contradiction between growth and flowering, balance the tree potential, improve ventilation and light transmission, and maintain a good tree shape. Therefore, pruning should be aggravated year by year, and the main branches should be retracted and updated in time.

The pruning of old trees is mainly to ensure the renewal of trunk, and the main purpose of pruning at this time is to make the crown younger. When pruning, re-prune the old dead branches in time to avoid cutting off the newly sprouted annual branches and keep them to re-develop into backbone branches. At the same time, water and fertilizer management, intertillage weeding and pest control should be strengthened in time for aging trees, so that the tree can recover quickly.

No matter what the growth situation is, pruning should be avoided.

Due to the influence of site conditions, soil environment and other factors, the growth state of the same variety and the same tree age is not the same. The trees with vigorous growth should be moderately lightly cut, and the long branches and inner branches should be cleaned to increase ventilation and transparency to ensure the beauty of the tree shape and shape; Trees with weak growth should be cut down again, the main purpose is to ensure the subsequent growth and make them grow new branches again. In short, we should master the principle of strong light cutting and weak heavy cutting.

Avoid pruning, whether potted or planted on the ground.

Plum blossom is a small deciduous tree, which can be used as a garden ornamental tree and placed in a flowerpot to make a plum blossom bonsai. The two forms of pruning are very different, and it is forbidden to treat them equally.

Pruning of plum blossoms planted in the garden is much more extensive than pruning of plum blossom bonsai. It is based on the natural growth of trees, with the purpose of thick crown, beautiful tree shape and dense flowering, and follows the principle of being conducive to tree growth when pruning.

Plum blossom bonsai is to cultivate plum blossom into the ornamental form and posture we want by pruning. In addition to the general pruning methods, pruning methods include rolling, crawling, tearing and carving.

No matter what season, you should avoid pruning.

Pruning plum blossoms pays great attention to seasonality, especially after flowering in early spring, which will consume a lot of nutrients. Prune plum blossoms immediately at this time, and don't wait until they sprout, otherwise it will affect the growth of the year and weaken the tree. Sometimes winter pruning is needed to ensure the flowering quantity and quality of plum blossoms. You can't cut more if you have time and manpower, and don't cut without time and manpower. In addition, it is best to prune plum blossoms moderately before planting plum trees. Because the newly planted plum root system is damaged, the nutrient absorption capacity is weak. If there are too many branches left, the nutrition and water supply can't keep up, which will affect the normal growth of plum trees, weaken the tree potential and may lead to death.

6 avoid pruning, be greedy and seek quick.

Pruning plum blossoms should be repeated, not once and for all. It is forbidden to ignore a big pruning for several years and let it develop. Otherwise, the plum blossom tree will be destroyed, with few or no flowers to enjoy and become a miscellaneous tree with no ornamental value. Plum blossoms change according to the annual climate and environmental changes and the different growth trends of daily management level. When pruning, the pruning scheme should be determined according to the growth situation of that year to ensure that each tree has a good tree shape and dense flowers in the next year.
