ornamental pruning has its peculiarities and that the aim is the aesthetic function but in any case all plants generally respond the same way to interventions of pruning.
This would be the objectives of pruning ornamental plants:
- Keep the typical physiognomy of these plants and constitutes its value.
- gradually renew the cup to prevent aging and prevent unsightly cuts may well be fatal to the plant for its healing difficult
- Rebalancing, stimulating the emission of new branches in the direction and right positions and reducing the force of others.
- Contain within the boundaries or hedges and bushes geometric parameters
- Stimulate flowering for annual operations as if they were trimming production. Important to know that a year from flower buds evolve and learn to recognize them.
effects of the cuts depending on when you do:
The cuts made in the previous period are waking vegetative stimulating effect.
The cuts made in full vegetative activity have depressant effects.
cuts made before the entry into effect rest are balanced.
The perennial sp always active but you have to find the periods in which they are less active (in cold winters and warm summer)
bush to tree:
a branch is chosen all other central and will gradually cut and rest period. In that we have left main stem is removed, leaving some branches and buds to drop suddenly no nutrition the new stem. Subsequently, and when the stem reaches the required height is cut in the desired to form the cradle (point of leaving the main branches).
From tree to bush:
The trunk is reduced once they have been two rest periods to ensure an adequate number of outbreaks. Then he made the final cut to the desired point basal buds wake up where the new branches will be born.
topiary Actions:
- Trim: pruning intervention (the plant is active) to clarify the cup to prevent excessive growth and height. Required for hedges, bushes and flowering shrubs.
- Topping: Favors lateral expansion of the cup and height growth slows. It when the plant is old and the interior branches are dry or lock involves some kind of structural danger. Should be avoided where possible.
-Pollard: should be avoided in almost all cases because it is totally reduce the glass and this causes serious imbalances between the root and crown.
Species flower
The flower sp are pruned according to the flowering period and the age of the ramifications that are so require a special technique. Interventions must be renewed annually for the ramifications of the flowers.
We therefore distinguish two types of flowering and hence intervention:
- early flowering, winter or early Spring
They
flowers on branches of previous year and therefore should not be pruned or fall or stop vegetative (rest) or near the awakening to not damage the flower buds. If involved with the flowers wilted but not expecting much because if you do not plant new vegetation does not distinguish the following year.
tipping in full activity favors the issuance of branches to bloom early.
- Flowering summer or autumn
bloom in the ramifications of the year, is newly formed and therefore are pruned in autumn or winter and in spring, before the resumption of the activity. Late interventions stimulate a significant branching and thus flowering. The wilted flowers sprouting even be helpful.
Sp perennial summer-autumn flowering:
Adelfa,
Hibiscus Lantana
Magnolia
pittosporum
Senecio
Climbing
should generally be guided by walls or other devices to form a regular coverage while avoiding the overhead of these.
In autumn and spring pruning is carried out at the top or thinning of the exterior and interior. You can excel in full swing recalling its stimulatory effect on depressing spring and summer (if growth is excessive).
If flower sp respect the relevant rules.
