How and When to Prune Trees and Shrubs 🌿

Understanding Growth Buds

Apical Dominance:
-Plants grow mainly from the terminal bud, inhibiting lateral buds.
-Vertical branches: Strong apical dominance.
-45° to 60° angled branches: Reduced apical dominance.
-Horizontal branches: Lose apical dominance, produce water sprouts.
-Removing Heavy Branches

Cutting Technique:
-Undercut large branches to prevent bark tearing.
-Make a top cut outside the first cut.
-Cut close to the branch collar to avoid damage.
-General Pruning Process

Timing:
-Prune during winter or early spring dormancy.
-Prune flowering shrubs after blooming.

Specific Pruning:
-Evergreens: Early spring.
-Fruit Trees: Open crown for light and fruit production.
-Roses: Prune in spring, above outward-facing buds.
-Pruning Techniques

Thinning:
-Remove entire shoots to maintain plant structure.
-Water Sprouts and Suckers:
-Remove to guide growth and prevent energy drain.

Renewal Pruning:
-Increase air circulation and light pe*******on.
-Crotches and Angles:
-Remove weaker limbs to improve plant health.
-Healing and Regrowth

Healing:
-Starts in the cambium layer after pruning.

Regrowth:
-Stimulates new growth, helping the plant become more vigorous.

A aplicação da técnica de transfixia no Ligustrum sinense destaca a precisão anatômica do processo de bonsai. A execução de incisões estratégicas influencia diretamente a modulação do transporte de seiva, evidenciando profundo conhecimento técnico na escultura e manutenção desta forma reduzida de árvore. 🌳✂️

Sinais de carências que uma árvore demonstra através das suas folhas. Na próxima adubação devemos aumentar os valores dos minerais em falta na planta.

Lack of minerals can be shown in a tree by their leafs. On the next fertilisation we should increase the amount of the missing mineral given to the plant.
