1. Initial pruning
Whenever ash trees grow to a height of 20-30 cm, initial pruning must be carried out. This process requires the removal of lateral branches and tops (or longer tops) to promote the growth of new branches and tops. In the initial pruning process, we can also leave 4-5 buds on the trunk to promote the growth of secondary branches.
Spring pruning
Spring is the best season for pruning ash trees, because it is the beginning of the growing season. At the same time, we need to prune new branches and crowns in early spring. In addition, some inappropriate branches or branches need to be cut off in time, which helps to keep the tree clean and beautiful.
Autumn pruning
Autumn is one of the important seasons for ash tree pruning, because its growing season is coming to an end. Therefore, the pruned branches should be mainly dry and diseased persimmon branches and branches left by pests. At the same time, we should also polish the wounds and edges on the trunk and branches to prevent germs from invading the tree and causing harm.
Generally speaking, the pruning and maintenance of Fraxinus mandshurica is very important and necessary, especially in potted plants. In daily maintenance, when there is no extreme situation, the pruning method is very simple and easy to master. Only the following four seasons need proper pruning and maintenance management. In this way, we can easily keep our ash trees growing healthily and vigorously.
