1. Hedge trimming period
After planting the hedge, it is best to let it grow naturally for one year, so as to avoid premature pruning and affect the growth of underground roots. From the second year, cut short according to the required height. When pruning, 1/3 to 1/2 of the height of the seedlings should be cut according to the size of the seedlings. In order to reduce the height of the seedlings as much as possible, produce more new branches, and close the canopy early, pruning can be carried out 2 to 3 times during the growth period. Repeated pruning in 2 to 3 years until the lower branches of the hedge grow well-proportioned and dense, and the upper branches are closely connected to each other.
Generally, the hedge of evergreen coniferous trees should be pruned for the first time in late spring and early summer. When midsummer arrives, the growth of most evergreen conifers has basically stopped, and they enter the stage of tissue enrichment. At this time, the shape of the hedge can be maintained for a long time. After the beginning of autumn, if the water and fertilizer are sufficient, the autumn shoots will grow and begin to grow vigorously. At this time, a second comprehensive pruning should be carried out to keep the hedge in a regular shape in autumn and winter, so that the wound can be completely healed before the severe winter. When pruning hedgerows in autumn, it should not be later than the "Bailu Festival" in the north, otherwise new shoots will sprout around the autumnal equinox, and they will definitely be frozen in winter.
For broad-leaved tree species such as boxwood, it is generally carried out in spring, and for coniferous tree species more than August to September. Hedgerow maintenance and pruning needs to be pruned once a year, usually once in the first to third quarters, and once in the fourth quarter. To welcome the festival, it is advisable to prune 10 days before the festival.
Most flower hedges do not carry out regular plastic pruning, but use natural pruning. It is best to prune after flowering, which can not only prevent a lot of fruiting and new shoot growth from consuming a lot of nutrients, but also promote the differentiation of flower buds, making preparations for the coming year or the next flowering period. Prepare. However, routine pruning should be carried out at ordinary times, and all dead branches, diseased and insect branches, and branches that grow too long and disturb the tree shape should be cut off one by one.
