Trees grow luxuriantly and have rich branches and leaves, which need to be pruned regularly. However, different trees have different pruning techniques and their crowns are unique, so it is necessary to choose appropriate tools and methods when pruning. What are the five steps of tree shaping and pruning? Let me give you a detailed introduction.

Five steps of tree shaping and pruning

1, capped

The first step of pruning and shaping is to pick the heart and top it. Generally, in the early stage of plant growth, the buds germinated at the top are pruned to control the growth of plants and adjust the growth of the main branches of the crown.

2, bud removal treatment

Trees usually germinate and grow with many buds. At this time, the dense and weak buds should be cut off to promote the centralized supply of nutrients to plants, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of plants.

3. Land to the tiller

When the new branches are not lignified, cut off the useless branches sprouting and growing at the trunk or root, and pay attention to prevent the bark from tearing or leaving a dead pile at this time.

4, short cut long branches

Short-cut branches that grow too long, pay attention to light cutting new trees and heavy cutting old trees that have grown for many years, reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of side branches.

5. Dense branches

Cut off the branches that grow too densely from the base to reduce the loss of excessive nutrients, increase the ventilation between branches and leaves, and help the trees bloom ahead of time and the trunk grow sturdily.
