The most commonly used tree form in gardens in Ye Mei is "natural happiness". After grafting, when the seedlings grow to more than 1 m, they are cut off at about 65 cm. In the next growing season, the first main branch is about 45 cm away from the ground, the second main branch is above 10 cm, and the third main branch is above 10 cm. These three main branches should be evenly distributed in different directions, with the distribution angle of about 120 and the opening angle of 45. After the three main branches are selected, the remaining few branches can be kept as auxiliary branches, and the rest can be thinned out. When cutting in the winter of the following year, the three main branches can be cut short, with the length of 1/3 branches. When cutting short, we should pay attention to the balance of the crown, lightly cut the strong branches, re-cut the weak branches, and cut off the outer buds. In the spring of the third year, some new branches adjacent to the extended branches of the new main branches should be thinned in time to keep some robust branches. When cutting in winter, the extension branches of the main branches should continue to be cut short, and some side branches should be kept. These lateral branches should be in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise, and no cross branches can be produced. The remaining lateral branches should also be appropriately shortened and gradually cultivated into flowering branches, and the spacing between the flowering branches in the trunk should not be less than 30 cm. In the process of flower branch culture, attention should be paid to the combination of medium and long branches and short branches to make them bear flower buds to the maximum extent.

Pruning after basic cultivation of crown is mainly divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. Summer pruning is usually carried out in June after the flowers wither, mainly by removing the core from the excessively long branches and shortening the branches that have already blossomed, leaving only 3 or 4 buds at the base, so that the newly sprouted branches are close to the main branches, which is beneficial to plant modeling; Winter pruning is generally carried out from February, 65438 to February of the following year, mainly to cut off over-dense branches, cross branches, overlapping branches, drooping branches, hollow branches, dead branches and pests; You can also cut short some long flowers. Some auxiliary branches that are too dense and the last branches that have not been prepared for flowering culture should be thinned. After such reasonable pruning, Eucommia ulmoides not only has large flowers, but also has a long flowering period. It should be noted that the residual flowers should be cut off in time after the flowers wither, so as not to cause the result and consumption of nutrients, which is often ignored due to the limitation of manpower. In fact, it is very necessary and meaningful to cut off the residual flowers.
