How to trim the latest honeysuckle

We are no stranger to honeysuckle. It is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine that is often used in our daily life. It is mainly used to make tea, clear heat and relieve fire, and prevent colds. It has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and can be planted in general soil. Now the rules for the cultivation of honeysuckle in China are also constantly expanding, and in the process of planting honeysuckle, we need to prune their branches and leaves, so how to prune honeysuckle? Now let's take a look at it together.

1. Pruning time

The pruning of branches and leaves of honeysuckle is not necessarily different from that of other crops. It can be trimmed all the year round. Spring is usually after the first batch of honeysuckle harvest, and summer pruning is usually at the end of July, that is, after the second batch of honeysuckle harvest. Autumn pruning is in early August, after the third flower picking, the last time is after playing honeysuckle for the last time, that is, before the branches and leaves sprout in spring.

2. Young plant pruning

Honeysuckle in the seedling stage, we usually give priority to plastic surgery, so we should cultivate the main branches of the second and third grades. We can reshape the young plants according to the tree shape we like, but only if we lay the foundation for later high yield. When we prune for the first time, we mainly keep a main branch, and then the crown is umbrella-shaped. Then each pruning, slowly retain more than other major branches, umbrella-shaped selection of about 10 to 13 secondary branches, and slowly cultivate tertiary branches.

3. Adult pruning

The pruning of adult honeysuckle is more complicated. It needs to take into account various factors such as plant growth, florescence, permeability and so on. At this time, the plants are basically tree-shaped, so the main purpose of pruning the branches and leaves of honeysuckle is for high yield and high quality of honeysuckle. Then the principle of pruning is to remove weak and strong branches, and remove miscellaneous branches, cross branches, drooping branches, withered branches, weak branches, diseased branches, dense branches, etc., so that the yield and quality of honeysuckle will be greatly improved, and at the same time, it can also prolong the service life of the plant.

4. Old plant pruning

The service life of honeysuckle is relatively common, and it is generally not considered to enter the aging stage until 20 years later. At this time, in order to maintain the yield of honeysuckle and prolong the use of honeysuckle trees, we usually trim off all the old branches of the aged honeysuckle, which can promote the growth of new branches. so as to maintain the original yield to a certain extent.

5. Variety pruning

At present, there are many varieties of honeysuckle planted in the market, and there is a slight difference between the uncultivated honeysuckle plants in pruning the flower girl. Then when we prune different varieties of honeysuckle plants, we not only need to prune according to the original plant age pruning principle, but also need to prune according to the pruning methods of different varieties of plants. But the ultimate goal is to enhance plant permeability and improve the yield and quality of Flos Lonicerae.

The above is arranged by Xiaobian, the pruning method of honeysuckle. In general, evolutionary pruning is basically pruned according to these two principles and methods. If you have any other better suggestions or better methods, please recommend them to us.
