Detailed Guide to the Latest Pruning and Training Methods for Plum Blossom
When snow swirls across the sky and all flowers have faded, only the plum blossom stands proudly, bursting with red and green. In December 1960, Chen Yi wrote "Miscellaneous Chants of a Long Night - Red Plum": "When deep winter arrives, the traces of a hundred flowers are gone. The red plum does not yield, every tree stands in wind and snow." The plum, together with the pine and bamboo, shares the quality of resisting severe cold and battling ice and snow, and is honored as one of the "Three Friends of Winter." Plum blossoms in gardens, green spaces, courtyards, and scenic areas can be planted alone, in clusters, or in groups, and can also be naturally arranged in front of houses, on slopes, beside rocks, and along roadsides. If evergreen trees or dark-colored buildings are used as a background, the pure and pristine beauty of the plum blossom is even more enhanced. When seedlings such as pine, bamboo, and plum are combined, the verdant pine is the backdrop, the tall bamboo is the accompanying scenery, and the plum blossom is the main feature. In ancient times, emphasis was placed on "plum trees surrounding the house" and "climbing a tower to view plum blossoms," all to achieve the best ornamental effect. In addition, plum blossoms can be arranged into plum ridges, plum peaks, plum gardens, plum paths, plum hollows, and so on.</p><p>Training: Pruning and shaping. Plum branches easily produce water sprouts. If a mature plum tree is left unpruned for a long time, many messy branches will sprout from the trunk and large branches, affecting ventilation and light penetration and affecting blooming. Pruning is mainly thinning, primarily removing misplaced water sprouts, diseased and dead branches, and overly dense branches from the trunk. Properly shortening long flowering branches can encourage more flower-bearing branches. Because the plum canopy is relatively spreading and has no obvious central leader, it is best to train it into a natural open-center shape. Plum blossoms bloom in early spring before leafing out, so pruning and pinching back are mostly done after flowering.</p>
