Generally speaking, it is better to plant maple trees in spring, and the specific time is in March and April every year. Pruning before germination and growth is better, with little damage to plants and quick recovery.

Prune the branches and leaves of potted maple trees

1. The trimmed maple trees grow well. When potted at home, appropriate pruning can be carried out during the growing period, which can effectively control the height of plants, mainly in summer. At this time, the top edge of the main branch can be cut off, and the surrounding side branches and buds should also be cut off. Then prune for many times according to the growth situation to promote the growth of branches. 2. Pruning maple trees has strong germination ability, and attention should be paid to styling pruning during the growth period. At this time, unnecessary branches such as dense branches, cross branches and upright branches can be pruned in time, and branchlets can be cut off from the trunk. Even if some thick branches and leaves are cut off, the plant shape will be more beautiful. 3. Modeling pruning is an important part of maple pruning method. In the growing period, the overall balance of tree types should be observed. If you find that the branches are white and long, you can cut off all the outside branches and ugly dense branches, mainly from the base, and cut off part of the upper part of the trunk to keep the height of the tree. 4. Prune the maple in winter, and it will go into dormancy in winter. At this time, the growth is slow, mainly light pruning, and the range should not be too large, otherwise it will affect the plant growth. All twigs, pests, dead branches and useless branches can be cut off, and some branches that affect the appearance can also be cut off to enhance the ornamental value of the plant type.

Cutting of pruning branches of maple trees

First of all, we should choose a leafy tree as the main branch of cutting to breed maple trees and make the ornamental maple potted plants we need. Choose a maple leaf branch that is one finger thick, trim the tree with scissors, and then cut it off from the maple tree. Cut a round hole in the middle of the branch with a knife to remove the bark on the surface and a layer of epidermis under the bark. This round hole needs a length of about 5cm, and then a little rooting hormone medicine is coated on the hole, wrapped with plastic film, tied tightly with ropes on both sides and buried in the soil. After about a month, you can see that roots have grown around this hole. At this time, we prepare a flowerpot, spread a layer of soil under it, plant long-rooted branches in the flowerpot, fix both sides with wooden sticks, and then water it frequently to keep the soil moist. That's it.
