Cedar pruning methods generally include short cutting, thinning, retraction, long planting and so on. However, the most common method of pruning and shaping cedars is cutting at home. Here, we will focus on shortcuts.

The purpose of cutting cedar.

Cedar pruning and shaping is to control the number of other branches of Cedar, the length of branches of Cedar, and the size of the crown of Cedar to make it more beautiful.

The specific steps of cutting cedar.

A mild shortcut

Light chopping is the least harmful of the three concrete chopping methods. Just cut off the cedar branches about 1/3 in length. Light cutting is more beneficial to the growth trend of branches, and has less influence on the whole branches.

Moderately chopped

Moderate chopping is about half the length of cedar branches. Moderate pruning is helpful to the further development of branches and is beneficial to the middle and lower branches.

Severe amputation

Severe chopping has a great influence on cedar. If it is not handled well, it will even cause the death of cedar, so you must be careful when choosing severe chopping. Re-cutting refers to cutting off about 2/3 of the length of cedar branches. As the name implies, strong shearing has a strong stimulating effect on plants. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to choose forced logging.
