1, coring.
Rubber tree coring is to remove the top bud of the branch or cut off the top of the branch. When the rubber tree grows to 30~50 cm high, cut off the top leaves and buds. Usually, 2~3 lateral buds near the top are easy to germinate. After the lateral branches grow, the tree is cup-shaped or the letter Y? Form.
2. Shortcuts.
Cut off 1/3 or 1/2 on the upper part of the whole main branch to promote the germination of side branches of the main branch. Shortcuts are heavily trimmed. Within one year after pruning, the ornamental value will be poor because there are fewer branches and leaves. But with the increase of time, the lateral branches will sprout and the later shape will be beautiful.
3. Thinning.
Trim the branches that are too dense and cut them off from the base of the branches with scissors.
4. Carve flower buds.
Carve the exposed part of the main branch. At the position of 0.5 ~ 1 cm above budding, cut 1 ~ 2 wounds with a knife transversely parallel to the internode. The wound is deep enough to cut the epidermis into xylem. The length of the wound is 1/2 stem circumference, and the distance between the two wounds is about 0.2 cm. A month later, the buds under the wound began to sprout. Can it grow to 3 ~ 4 in autumn? A long lateral branch of a leaf. ?
5, wipe the bud.
Break the budding bud to inhibit the growth of lateral branches.
