The leaf buds of plum blossom have strong germination ability and branching ability. Flower branches can be divided into short, medium and long according to their length. The flowering rate of the middle branches below 20 cm is the highest, and the short branches around 2 cm can also develop. There are few flowers with long branches over 30 cm, so there are only a few flowers that come out first. The flower buds of plum blossoms are mostly on the new branches born that year, and the hidden buds on the old plum branches often appear as short branches, which can bloom. The main branches of plum blossom grow vigorously and are not easy to produce flower buds. Therefore, it is advisable to cut the long branches short, so that they have short side branches in the same year, and wait for the flower buds to form in summer and autumn. In addition, useless long branches, twigs, pests and diseases should be cut off. Plum blossoms are plants that like light. When pruning, try to cut off overlapping and shaded branches and let them fully receive light, so that they can flourish.

In addition, it should be noted that after flowering, it should be combined with loosening soil and topdressing 1 ~ 2 times to supplement energy, promote the growth of new branches and promote the differentiation of flower buds.
