1、 Pruning time

There are three main periods of time in a year to prune Osmanthus fragrans. The first stage is from March to April every year, when it grows new buds. The second paragraph is from October to November, after the flowers wither. The third period of winter dormancy is from January to February

2、 Pruning method

1. Early spring pruning: when it grows new branches and buds in early spring, it needs to be pruned once. At this time, first cut off the dry branches on the plant, and then cut off the 3-5cm at the top of the main branch together with the new buds. This can promote it to grow new branches and make it grow more densely

2. Post flower pruning: after its flowers wither, the remaining flowers on it need to be cut off immediately. If there are diseased branches, they can be cut off together. In this way, it can save more nutrients, which is very beneficial to its winter

3. Winter pruning: in winter, it grows very slowly and is not easy to be injured by pruning. So it can be re cut once. At this time, you can first cut off all the branches that are not growing well, shorten the long branches, and sparse the branches that are too dense. This will be better for its growth in the coming year
