Pruning honeysuckle is easy. Two scissors, one large and one small, are used for rough pruning, that is, pruning the long branches of honeysuckle, and then fine pruning with small scissors. Because big scissors can't be inserted into the gaps of honeysuckle branches, we can only use small scissors for fine pruning and cut off the twigs wrapped around the trunk. In addition, there are dry branches and what we commonly call waste branches. Waste branches rarely bloom, which will absorb nutrients from the trunk and affect the flowering of other branches, which is not conducive to high yield.

Honeysuckle enters the mature stage after four years, and enters the full bloom stage after four to five years. Planting in the plain can harvest four flowers a year, and the key is to ensure fertilizer and water. Pruning is the key: after picking each bud, pruning in summer is mainly short cutting, supplemented by thinning. The weight of the stub depends on the growth of branches, especially on the germination degree of axillary buds of new shoots. Most new shoots germinate early in 2 ~ 6 nodes, and 3 ~ 5 nodes can be left when pruning. Long and strong branches should be heavy and short until they wither, so that the branches of the whole tree germinate basically the same. Otherwise, the long and strong branches germinate early and the short fruit branches germinate late, which leads to inconsistent germination period and uneven flowering period.

Pruning of honeysuckle can be divided into winter pruning and summer pruning. Pruning can be repeated in winter and lighter in summer. Four methods are adopted: short cutting, thinning, shrinkage and long paving. The pruning of mature piers is mainly in winter. It is necessary to master the essentials of removing the weak and retaining the strong, bending and thinning, and determine the number of mother branches according to the water and fertilizer situation. After picking each bud, cut it in summer. The middle-aged flower piers are mainly short-cut, the weak branches become thinner, and the old flower piers need to be retracted and trimmed. Using the method of vertical long branches to pick up the core, we can cultivate new trunks, renew and rejuvenate them, maintain the vigorous vitality of flower piers, and achieve the goal of high yield every year.

Honeysuckle pruning is divided into two periods, one is winter pruning, and the other is pruning after each flowering, which is green pruning. The first spring shoot was cut in late May (after the first flower), the second summer shoot was cut in mid-July (after the second flower) and the third autumn shoot was cut in mid-August (after the third flower). The pruning at this time is the pruning in the green period. The purpose of green pruning is to promote the formation of multi-crop flowers.

Shaping can make the tree have a good three-dimensional structure, clear primary and secondary, reasonable branches at all levels, occupy the largest flowering space, and make the tree look like an ideal "umbrella tower". In order to facilitate picking and management, the tree height and crown width should be controlled at about 1.3m, and plastic surgery usually takes 2 to 3 years to complete.
