Because boxwood has thin skin and hard and brittle wood, the plasticity of boxwood is not great. Branches are usually pulled for modeling. According to the modeling concept, it is best not to tie it with wire. Carelessness can easily lead to skin damage and branch damage, which is not worth the loss. It can be seen that the modeling of boxwood should be based on pruning, supplemented by pulling.

The pruning methods of Buxus macrophylla usually have the following aspects:

1, routine maintenance and pruning

Buxus buxus has strong sprouting ability, so the buds that are not needed for modeling should be removed in time, and the dense branches and dead branches should be drained in time during the growing period to increase the permeability of the space.

Boxwood is not beautiful, so it should be picked up in time after budding in autumn to prevent the loss of nutrients in trees.

2, modeling pruning

According to the characteristics of tree species, the shape of Euonymus japonicus is usually trimmed into cloud branches. Due to the strong germination ability of Buxus macrophylla, the tender branches can be thinned in the early stage of pruning, and only the skeleton branches of the branches can be kept. With proper fertilizer and water supply, the lateral buds will germinate soon.

3. Conformal pruning

After Buxus buxus is basically shaped, it is necessary to pick the shoots in time and cut off the top branches and leaves in the growing season to control the height of the plant and promote the germination of lateral buds.

After the tender branches and leaves are spread out, they should be cut off one by one with buds, leaving only 2-4 leaves for each tender branch.
