Pruning time

The branches and leaves of holly grow very rapidly, and many new buds are extracted every year. Therefore, Holly is a very pruning resistant plant. There is no need to worry that excessive pruning will affect the growth of plants.

In summer, Holly has many branches and leaves and vigorous growth, so it can be trimmed in summer. In autumn, Holly can be trimmed into an ideal shape according to image design. At this time, in addition to modeling holly, we should also give Holly a sparse branch.

Pruning position

We usually trim the thin curved branches with weak growth ability of holly. Generally, about one fifth of the whole branch will be cut off, only the flower bud part will be retained, and the flower branches at the top of holly crown will be trimmed appropriately.

We can also trim the holly into a suitable shape according to the needs of garden decoration. Generally, we need to trim it appropriately according to the growth status and crown shape of holly. When trimming, we can trim the Holly a little lower from its ideal height, and the holly will soon grow into a suitable shape and size, making it more natural.

After pruning holly into an ideal shape, it is necessary to regularly prune the new branches, because the growth ability of holly is very strong. If it is not pruned in time, the already made Holly shape will be easily damaged.

When pruning, pay attention to pruning some side branches to increase the light transmittance and wind permeability of holly, which can prevent the reproduction of pests.

Curing after trimming

After pruning the branches, the holly tree will have a wound. We should pay attention to prevent the wound infection from causing the disease of the holly tree. The wound infection is easy to cause the branch blight of the holly tree, and the disease should be treated with drugs in time. Apply a little quicklime to the wound to prevent infection.
