Pruning method of elderberry

Before pruning, we should know which plant types of elderberry are suitable for pruning, which are divided into multi dry shrub and single dry

Multi dry shrub type

There are two pruning methods for this plant type. One is to bind several seedlings together, cut off the side branches on their own seedlings, only retain the main part, remove the inward growing branches, and retain the outward growing branches. Later pruning is to cut off the newly grown branches inside. The second is to prune the vigorous branches in the nursery, select 4 ~ 5 branches with good growth as the trunk, and constantly prune the inward growing branches, but also retain only the outward growing branches

Single dry type

When the plant grows to two and a half meters, it shall be cut short, and the new plant shall be selected as the main culture. The new plant shall select 3 ~ 4 plants with good growth, and the growth shall be scattered, not gathered, and the growth trajectory shall be different. The short cut should be carried out in late autumn. The next year, select two lateral branches with the best growth from each trunk for culture, and remove the remaining branches. In the future, we only need to clean up the dense branches and control diseases and pests

Notes on elderberry pruning

No matter which plant type is selected, the branches with strong growth should be selected as the trunk when pruning. In the maintenance process, it is the key to clean up the miscellaneous branches and side branches in time, so as to better maintain the beauty of the plant type.
