Matters needing attention in peony pruning
When pruning peony flowers, pay attention to the neatness, roundness and smoothness of the wound, and don't cut it into horseshoes to ensure that the side branches and main branches don't crack. The neatness of the wound can reduce the evaporation of water, promote the rapid healing of the wound without damaging the trees, and remove the leaves from the bottom up to avoid hurting the buds.
