1. Pick the heart

First, you can use the method of picking the heart to remove the top buds on those branches, or cut off the top branches, so that it can grow new branches quickly

2. Short cut

This method is to cut off one-third or two-thirds of the upper part of the main branch, which can make the side branches grow faster and reduce the consumption of nutrients

3. Cut bud

This method should be pruned according to the shape you want. When pruning, you should choose the place where there are no branches and leaves on the main branch for bud cutting. If the angle of the branch is too large due to bud cutting, you can support the branch and keep it at a suitable angle. Bud cutting is usually used on the thick branch. If the branch is too thin, you can't use this method

4. Pull branch

Pulling a branch means pulling the branch outward through a certain external force to change its growth direction, which will weaken the advantage of the top. Generally, the greater the angle of pulling it, the weaker the advantage of the top. If it is pulled to the horizontal position, it will eliminate all the advantages of the top

The specific operation is to pull the bud into an arc and stop the bud promotion at the top advantage. If it is carried out in spring, the lateral branches can usually grow in that year< a>
