Cinnamomum camphora grows fast and has many branches. If it is planted too densely, it will affect the tree shape of Cinnamomum camphora. Therefore, it is necessary to trim and reshape it in time to give full play to the role of Cinnamomum camphora branches and enhance the overall ornamental value.

Pruning time of camphor tree

The pruning time of Cinnamomum camphora can be flexibly controlled, and it is not necessary to cut it at seedling stage. For growing seedlings, lateral branches can be cut off and long branches can be cut off. For adult trees, it is mainly to trim the branches under the crown to improve the ornamental value. When transplanting, you can re-cut, cut off most branches and leaves, keep a small number of branches at the top of the trunk, and do lingering treatment on the trunk.

Pruning method of camphor tree

If the crown of Cinnamomum camphora is too small, it is mainly because of excessive pruning at ordinary times, resulting in too many injuries to Cinnamomum camphora branches. According to the tree type of the plant, the main branch of the first layer of Cinnamomum camphora can be trimmed with two branches, and appropriately cut short to reduce the number of leaves of Cinnamomum camphora.

Some weak branches on the second main branch of Cinnamomum camphora should be cut off, and the competitive branches at the top should be cut short to maintain the top advantage of Cinnamomum camphora. In addition, the branches of diseases and pests, withered old branches, dense branches and cross branches should be pruned in time to reduce nutrient consumption and increase ventilation.

Matters needing attention in pruning camphor trees

After transplantation, Cinnamomum camphora can be pruned once. At this time, the absorption capacity of root system is weak, so it is necessary to carry out intensive pruning to ensure survival. After each pruning, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated semi-shade. Remember not to water it. If there is water in the wound, it will cause decay.
