Dwarfing method of potted Osmanthus fragrans

Trowel budding method

In spring, in order to control the growth trend of potted Osmanthus fragrans, when the new shoots are pulled out rapidly and most of the shoot tips have been capped and stopped growing, the shoot tops of all new shoots can be cut off. For two or three-year-old young trees, 2 or 3 new shoots can be reserved at the missing part of the branches to keep the crown neat

The top of the tree is damaged and the nutrition is redistributed. Spring is a period of vigorous branching and root growth. However, due to the sudden removal of all new shoot tops, the balance between root and crown is broken. Under this stimulation, potted Osmanthus fragrans requires a new balance quickly, and then a strong branching force erupts. Therefore, axillary buds will sprout rapidly around the top branches. These axillary buds can germinate in about 10 days, and the number is 4-5 times more than before

Long branch bending method

If the branches of potted Osmanthus fragrans vary in length, when the lower part of the long branch is very empty, the spare part of the lower part of the long branch can be bent to fill the vacancy, so as to achieve the purpose of Dwarfing and beautifying. Generally, take the bend in the afternoon of late autumn, and control the water before taking the bend

Insert a small wooden stick next to the thinner branch, and the bending part shall be bound to the small wooden stick. If the branch to be bent is thick and hard, twist the bending part several times to make it soft. If it is easy to break the branches at one time, two bamboo poles can be inserted into the bending part, one close to the branch and bound with fine hemp rope, and then insert another bamboo pole, which can also be bound with fine hemp rope in the direction of bending. In addition, the bending form of bending can be changed slightly to avoid rigidity. The bent branches shall be coordinated with other branches. Then use fine hemp rope to bind all the bent places firmly. The bamboo pole shall be firmly inserted to avoid tilting or pulling out. The next spring, the new long branches were trimmed and adjusted slightly, and the binding hemp rope was removed. At this time, the bent branches were dead and no longer deformed
