Hedge pruning is an important task in maintaining plant fences, which can not only increase the aesthetic feeling, but also provide privacy and protection. The standard and method of hedge pruning can be different according to personal preference and plant type. But in general, the core idea includes the following points: 1. Regular pruning: Regular pruning is the key to keep the hedge clean and healthy. According to the growth speed and season of plants, choose the appropriate time interval for pruning. Usually spring and autumn are the best times every year. 2. Pruning height: according to the required privacy and visual field requirements, determine the ideal hedge height. Use the pruning tool to trim the hedge to the required height to ensure smoothness and symmetry. 3. Shape and outline: The overall shape and outline of the hedge should be considered when pruning. Trim the tops and sides of plants with scissors, pruning shears or electric pruning tools as needed to maintain a consistent appearance. 4. Leaf pruning: In addition to pruning the overall shape of plants, attention should also be paid to pruning long leaves or diseased leaves. Pruning unhealthy leaves can promote new growth and increase the beauty of plants. 5. Clean up the cut branches and leaves: After pruning, clean up the cut branches and leaves and sundries and keep them clean and tidy. This can prevent withered leaves and branches from causing diseases or pests.
