1, choose the right time: it is best to prune in winter or early spring. Pruning when plants are dormant can reduce the interference to their growth.

2. Remove dead or sick branches: check plants and trim any dead, dry or damaged branches. Use pruning shears or pruning saws to ensure that the tools are sharp, so as to obtain a neat cut.

3. Control the crown shape: Bath trees in the East China Sea usually form a dense crown, and you can control the crown shape and size by pruning. Cut off too dense branches to promote air circulation and sunlight through plants.

4. Adjust the height: If the bathing trees in the East China Sea are too high to manage or touch the surrounding structures (such as roofs), the height of the canopy can be reduced. Choose a suitable position on the branch and trim it to the required height.

5. Cut off the transverse branches: check whether there are transverse branches in the crown, which may cause friction and wear, causing plant damage. Cut off these transverse branches to keep the crown healthy and tidy.

6. Ensure the cleanliness of pruning tools: Before pruning different plants or using pruning tools between different parts, please ensure that they are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent the spread of diseases or infections. Please note that the bathing tree in the East China Sea is a common plant, but there may be other varieties or similar tree species in different regions. According to your geographical location and actual situation, you should also refer to local gardening suggestions and practices. If you are not sure about pruning plants, it is recommended to consult a professional gardener or plant expert for more detailed guidance.
