Although different trees, shrubs, and flower clusters have different pruning methods, they are all similar. The specific methods are as follows:
1. The commonly used method in tree modeling is to cut the trunk and branches to enhance the overall ornamental effect of the trimmed tree.
2. According to the design requirements, measures are taken to tie and pull the branches to bend and redirect them. Commonly used in pile landscape design, it is often done during the growing season of trees.
3. Pruning can remove diseased and insect branches, dry and withered branches, useless and elongated branches, and excessively dense intersecting branches. Pruning can improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, enhance leaf photosynthetic efficiency, increase nutrient accumulation, and promote growth and differentiation.
4. Remove the tender branches or roots that grow from the base of the tree trunk and near the wound. Avoid these branches and roots, which may hinder the tree shape and disperse nutrients from the tree body.
5. The measure of interweaving the branches of one, several, or dozens of trees that grow together to form the desired shape according to the design requirements. Flower farmers in Sichuan, China often take advantage of the strong sprouting power, soft branches, thin bark, easy weaving, and easy healing at the contact points of the branches to form connected branches (see grafting).
Extended Information:
1. The technique of using pruning, tying, and other measures to cultivate garden trees into the desired beautiful shape. Trees that have undergone shaping are called shaping trees. Proper application of tree shapes in gardens can achieve good artistic effects.
2. A successful tree shape is a good combination of natural beauty and artificial beauty. The natural plant shape and ornamental characteristics of different tree species vary, and the way they are shaped also varies. When shaping, the growth and development patterns of various trees should also be considered. Tree species with fast growth and strong regeneration ability can be pruned slightly heavier during shaping and pruning; Slow growing and weak regenerative species should be pruned lightly.
