The configuration and trimming form of ribbon are mainly regular and natural.
Regular banding mainly refers to pruning plants into various regular shapes according to people's wishes and needs. The main forms are: flat, sloping, circular arch, spherical, cylindrical, stepped, triangular, arc and so on.
After the ribbon planting is completed, according to its habit, it is necessary to cut its two sides with long scissors, the upper part is re-cut, and the lower part is gently cut, so that the external viewing surface becomes an inclined plane. After cutting both sides, cut the top according to the shape, and the whole section is slightly trapezoidal. This can destroy the top advantages of the upper and lower branches of plants, stimulate the upper and lower branches to grow new side branches, and the position of the side branches is closer to the trunk, which is conducive to obtaining sufficient nutrients and sunshine, thus making the branches flourish.
According to this method, the upper parts of different varieties or combinations must keep the distance of 10- 15CM when pruning, which is beneficial to the artificial closed management in the later stage, the healthy growth of seedlings and the interruption of the spread of pests and diseases. According to the characteristics of seedlings, if the length of new shoots is about 8- 10CM during the growth period, it can be reduced by several times in combination with design and modeling.
Degree pruning, in order to meet the plump and beautiful, enhance the tree potential, balance the shape, coordinate the proportion, light weight pruning for many times, until it meets the requirements.
Natural ribbon refers to the natural growth with less artificial shaping and pruning after planting, which has the effect of natural scenery. This method is suitable for most flower ribbons.
After the natural ribbon is planted, the first simple modeling must be carried out. Generally, there are more buds on the upper branches of the trunk and fewer flowers on the lower branches. Plant morphology is mainly happy. In the middle stage, pruning must be carried out after flowering, usually counting down from the flowers, cutting flowers on the second leaf and leaving axillary buds on the second leaf, so it must be cut in the second winter. In the process of pruning, the outward branches, top dominant branches and cross branches must be pruned again, and the dead branches and dead branches should be trimmed to form a natural forest edge line to maintain the basic beauty of the ornamental surface of the ribbon.
