How should Luohansong be trimmed?
Podocarpus belongs to Podocarpus, which is produced in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong and other provinces, and is cultivated all over the south of the Yangtze River.

It is also distributed in Japan.

Podocarpus has a beautiful tree shape, which is suitable for planting as a shade tree alone, or for opposite planting or scattered planting in front of the hall.

Because of the dense leaves and twigs, it is suitable for potted plants or hedgerows, and can also be trimmed into various shapes for viewing.

Podocarpus is an evergreen tree with a height of 20 meters.

The crown is roughly oval.

Bark gray, shallow crack.

The branches are dense and flat.

Leaves alternate spirally, long lanceolate, sharp at the apex, narrow at the base, dark green and shiny on the surface, and light green on the back. The flowering period is from April to May.

Seeds and receptacle are like arhats, hence the name arhats.

The varieties are narrow-leaved Podocarpus, small Podocarpus and short-leaved Podocarpus.

Podocarpus is a semi-negative tree species with strong tolerance to shading.

Poor cold resistance, like sandy loam with good drainage and more water.

Podocarpus has the characteristics of low branching point, which can be shaped by the central leadership of low branching.

For the backbone of the culture center, several competitive branches can be cut short, leaving secondary branches at the incision.

The growth of chopped competitive branches is weak in the first year. In the future, 2 ~ 3 main branches will be selected at regular intervals on the trunk every year to make them dispersed, and then the top will be cut short, the lower part will be left long, the upper part will be left short, and the redundant side branches will be cut off in time.

Pay attention to pruning every year in the future, so that the main branches on the trunk are spirally distributed.

The length of main branches is shortened one by one from bottom to top, which makes the whole crown form a typical conical column.

Arhat pine often has irregular long branches in adulthood, which makes the crown irregular.

But the branches are relatively flat, strong in germination, very resistant to pruning and convenient in modeling, so they can be molded into piles. The modeling method can refer to several forms of black pine.
