Pruning and shaping is especially suitable for flowers with thin and dense growth branches, many but small leaves, and strong wound resistance and healing ability. Pruning can be done during the dormant period or during the growing period. Pruning and shaping are generally more common in early spring and late autumn. Light shaping, traction shaping and pruning shaping can be used flexibly and comprehensively to achieve satisfactory results.

Different types of flowers and trees require different pruning times. The specific control should be based on the different flowering habits, cold resistance and pruning purposes of the flowers.

(1) When pruning flowers and trees that are mainly for flower viewing, the flower buds are formed on the branches of the first year, so it is not suitable to prune in winter and before budding in early spring, otherwise, they will be cut off. Flowering branches should be pruned within 1 to 2 weeks after flowering to promote the germination of new shoots and the formation of flowering branches for the next year. If you wait until autumn or winter to prune, branches with flower buds that have formed in summer will be damaged, affecting flowering the next year. Such as plum blossoms, peach blossoms, winter greetings, etc.

(2) All flowers and trees that bloom on current-year branches should be pruned during winter dormancy to promote more new shoots, more flowers, and more fruits. Sprawling woody flowers should generally be pruned during the dormant period or in winter to maintain a neat, well-proportioned and beautiful plant shape. Flowers and trees that are mainly straight are often pruned during the dormant period. Such as rose, hibiscus, poinsettia, hibiscus, kumquat, generation, bergamot, etc.

(3) When pruning during the dormant period, those with strong cold resistance can be pruned in late autumn and early winter, and should not be done too early. Too early will induce autumn shoots; for those who are afraid of cold, it should be done in early spring before the sap starts to flow but before budding. In addition, for flower and tree shaping, the purpose of cutting thick branches or pruning is for renewal, so when pruning is strong, it is suitable for dormancy. period.
