The pruning method of Daphne odora

Ruixiang was originally distributed in the south of the Yangtze River Basin in China and was later introduced into Japan. It is a traditional famous flower in China, which is loved by people and is known as "top-grade flower". So what is the pruning method of Ruixiang?

First, the pruning method of Ruixiang

Usually, the dense twigs can be cut off before it germinates, leaving a certain gap for ventilation and light. After the flower fade, remove the residual flowers at the same time, cut off the overgrown branches, overlapping branches, overdense branches, cross branches and other branches that affect the beautiful shape of the tree to ensure the beautiful shape of the tree.

2. Shaping and pruning of seedlings

For cuttings of the same year, coring can begin when the first branch leaves grow to 5-8 cm, usually 2-3 branches are selected for culture; when the second branches and leaves grow to about 8 cm, the second coring can begin. Each branch retains 2-3 strong buds, erases too many weak buds, and cultivates 6-9 secondary branches. Daphne can generally branch, send leaves, pick the heart 3-4 times, by repeatedly picking the heart, wiping buds, you can cultivate more sturdy shoots, expand the crown, usually 1-2 years can take shape.

Third, summer scissors

Summer shears usually cut off part of the new shoots or cut off the new shoots in batches from June to July in order to promote the lateral buds under the cutting mouth to sprout new branches. The growth of new shoots germinated after summer pruning has not stopped, so its flower bud differentiation will be later, so the flowering period of Ruixiang will be prolonged.
