If you want to dwarf osmanthus trees, you should top them in time during the young trees. The specific pruning time should be chosen in spring, and the top of the trunk should be cut directly, keeping a certain height and not growing too high. When pruning, some branches and lateral branches should be shortened appropriately to concentrate nutrients and promote better growth in the later stage. In addition, the branches that grow too densely should be thinned, and the internal ventilation should be trimmed properly, so that the light transmittance will be better.

Second, wipe your head.

Spring is the peak season for the growth of osmanthus trees, so pruning is needed at this time. If you want to control its height, you should cut off the shoots at the top and keep two or three shoots at the top. In addition, the branches that grow too long should be cut short to reduce the loss of nutrients, which can promote axillary bud germination, and then flourish and grow more branches and leaves in the later stage.

Third, long branches and bending

Osmanthus fragrans branches are often different in length, and some are too long, so that the bottom will be very empty. At this time, all the long branches can be bent to fill the vacancy, which can achieve the purpose of dwarfing and improve the aesthetics. Pay attention to autumn, which can reduce the damage to branches.

Fourth, pruning treatment.

Osmanthus fragrans should be pruned in time when it enters the initial flowering stage. Cutting off some overgrown, infected, emaciated, crossed and overlapped branches can reduce nutrient consumption and promote better growth of branches.
