Pruning period

Generally speaking, we choose to prune in winter. At this time, it enters a dormant or semi dormant state, and then we cut off the dead branches, the ones with pests and diseases, and the denser ones

After that, pruning can still be carried out in spring and early autumn, which can be carried out according to our cutting at this time

Key points

Pruning can usually be done later, but it's not good to do it earlier. Although we all agree with winter repair, spring is actually better, because during this period, its branches will grow faster, and the air humidity will be relatively large, and there are no dry branches, so there is nothing to do

Cut off its strong branches and leave the weak ones behind. We should wait until the branches are lignified before cutting, so that the side branches will have a better shape, and we'd better wait for it to grow for a year before cutting. If it doesn't grow well, we can wait another year

Keep those thin branches. Because some branches may not germinate for a long time, and the lateral branches may not be developed, which is actually lack of fertilizer. So we can add more fertilizer as long as it doesn't affect its growth. Moreover, in the peak season, watering and fertilization should be separated. Only in this way can the lateral branches be fatter and pruning be carried out normally
