Precautions for pruning Pyracantha

Pyracantha fortunei is a fruit observation plant. When pruning, no matter what shape, the fruit is very important. Pyracantha will grow flower buds in May. If pruned in winter, it is easy to cut off the flower buds, so it is better to prune after flowering in June. You can cut off the long branches to facilitate the germination of new branches and let the flower buds grow on the new branches in the flowering season

When pruning fruit bearing branches, Pyracantha rhamnoides needs to retain a certain number of buds. After fruit setting, it can be pruned again to make the fruit expand and have a good color. When pruning flowers, it is mainly thinning. Because the flowers of Pyracantha are very dense, there are usually dozens of flowers in one inflorescence. If you want to watch the flowers, you can cut a little on the side used for viewing and more on the back. If there are few flowers, cut less or no< span>
