Pruning method of Daphne odora

Daphne odora has strong germination power and is more resistant to pruning. Under normal circumstances, those dense twigs can be cut off before germination, leaving a certain gap for ventilation and light transmission. After the flowers wither, while removing the remaining flowers, cut off the branches that affect the beauty of the tree shape, such as bare branches, overlapping branches, over dense branches and Cross branches, so as to maintain a beautiful tree shape

Shaping and pruning of seedlings

Through the measures of picking the heart, wiping the bud, thinning the branch, binding and pulling the branch, the plant can germinate early, grow more branches and blossom more. For the current year's cutting seedlings, pick the heart when the first branching leaves grow to 5-8 cm, and select 2-3 branches for culture; When the second branches and leaves grow to about 8 cm, the second coring can be carried out. Each branch retains 2-3 strong buds, erases too many weak buds, and cultivates 6-9 secondary branches. Daphne odora can extract branches, hair and leaves for 3-4 times. Through repeated coring and bud wiping, it can cultivate more strong branches and expand the branch crown, which can usually take shape in 1-2 years

Summer scissors

Daphne odora is resistant to pruning and has strong top advantages. It is suitable to take the method of removing the top and promoting sprouting during pruning. Generally, from June to July, part of the new shoots born in that year or 1 / 2 of the new shoots are cut in batches, so as to promote the lateral buds under the cutting mouth to sprout new branches. The growth of uncut spring shoots has long stopped, and flower bud differentiation and pregnant buds can be carried out after autumn. However, if the growth of new shoots sprouted after summer cutting has not stopped, the flower bud differentiation will be slightly later, which will prolong the flowering period of Daphne odora< span>
