Pruning mode of bauhinia 1
There are three ways to prune bauhinia. Thinning is generally carried out after defoliation and before germination every year. Dead branches, short branches and cross branches should also be pruned in winter to avoid excessive growth. After flowering in summer, it is chopped, topped, chopped and pitted. Re-pruning is to cut off the old roots that have lost their growth ability, which can adjust the branch spacing and promote the germination of new roots.
2, refinement
Thinning is carried out every autumn after defoliation and before germination in spring, usually once a year. According to the growth status and growth cycle of the main branches, the aged branches, the excessively long branches and the cross branches which are shielded from each other are cut off, so that the tree shape of the main branches is beautiful and has enough growth space, which is beneficial to the germination of new buds.
3. Shortcuts
Cutting is usually done after flowering in summer. Cutting or coring in time is beneficial to control plant height and promote plant germination and branching. After flowering, the residual flowers and pods should be cut off in time to avoid unnecessary loss of nutrients, affect plant growth, inhibit flower bud differentiation, and eventually lead to failure to form flowers.
Step 4 cut again
Bauhinia is very adaptable. Under normal maintenance conditions, the lateral branches of plants planted for more than five years will grow vigorously, which is easy to block sunlight from each other and compete for water and nutrients, but many of them are old branches that have lost their growth ability. Re-cutting can adjust the spacing of branches and promote the germination and growth of new branches.
