the importance of pruning
Many beautiful flowering shrubs delight us with bright colors and scent for weeks. Such bushes without requiring moreover easy to maintain, and can be used as background for flower beds, and to create a pictorial groups and single landings as garden focal points.
But the most beautiful flowering shrubs require regular pruning - it stimulates the growth of new shoots, and thus determines the flowering splendor.
Always cut branches at an angle to the longitudinal axis thereof. Shortening the flight, make the cut just above a bud that faces outward, while being careful not to damage it and do not leave stumps sticking out. Subsequently, the kidney will give abundant growth. If a branch cut above the bud facing the inside of the bush, over time there will densely intertwined branches. If escape is necessary to remove the entire, clip it directly from the point of origin of the stalk.
Some simple rules
In the spring, many plants (forsythia, lilac, Weigela, Deutzia, Ribes sanguineum, etc.) Do not require any serious withdrawal, and for abundant flowering they do not need annual pruning. Their flower buds are laid in the previous year shoots. Severe pruning in the fall or early spring will lead to the fact that the plant does not bloom at all. To maintain healthy growth and ability to bloom these plants are cut every 2-3 years, after the flowering. At the same time cut and dried and all branches.
Flower buds are laid on the shoots of the previous year and various hydrangeas (garden, macrophylla). They only need to be removed or faded vymerzshie part. Flowering summer shrubs (Buddleja, perovskite, tseanotus), flower buds on the shoots of the year, should be cut in late winter or early spring, before the start of growth. Some hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata example, lay the spring buds, and therefore they can only be cut at the end of winter. Flowering in summer and autumn, tiny shrubs, such as, for example, shrubby cinquefoil (Kuril tea) should be cut by one-third at the end of winter.
New life running a hedge
Freely growing hedges without leaving converted into dense impenetrable thickets, does not transmit light. As a result, shrubs lose their leaves, and their flowering becomes scarce. Hedges can be rejuvenated by cutting every bush almost to the ground.
Use for trimming bushes convenient shears with rounded ends. The blades should be sharp, so as not to crush the shoots.
Use shears specially coated blades - it does not give the juice of plants, is released during cutting, glue blade.
Plant more slowly growing plants (eg, euonymus). This will save you time on their pruning
