Pruning method of Sophora japonica

The pruning of Sophora japonica generally needs to do two jobs. First, it needs to be cut off in time. After the growth of Sophora japonica stops in spring, the curved part at the top of Sophora japonica japonica can be cut off. In addition, for Sophora japonica plants that are more than two years old, if there is no trunk or the trunk part is inclined during spring growth, they need to be cut again. When cutting the stem, it should be built at the inclined part of the main branch of Sophora japonica

Second, it is necessary to prune reasonably, and keep more lateral branches on the premise of not affecting the growth of the main stem of Sophora japonica

Principles of pruning Sophora japonica

During pruning, Sophora japonica generally does not trim horizontal and nearly horizontal branches, but allows them to grow naturally

The branches that affect the growth of Sophora japonica trunk need to be cut off in time. Other lateral branches that do not hinder the growth of the main branches of Sophora japonica generally need to control its growth. With the growth, the lateral branches will gradually thicken. When the lateral branches reach half the thickness of the main stem, they should be cut off in time

It should be noted that if the branches of Sophora japonica are pruned too late, the wound will not heal easily. If it is too skewed, it shall be cut off again, and the cutting opening shall be selected at the beginning of deflection

Precautions for pruning Sophora japonica

Generally, when pruning Sophora japonica, it is necessary to maintain a reasonable density, which can ensure that Sophora japonica can not only meet the needs of photosynthesis, but also achieve the purpose of pruning

In addition, pruning should be carried out in time when pruning, but excessive pruning should be avoided< span>
