  After the Murraya paniculata (orange jasmine) has taken shape, it continues to grow. If it is allowed to grow naturally without restraint, it will inevitably affect the tree's form and cause it to lose its artistic value. Therefore, it must be pruned in time: long branches cut short, dense branches thinned, to maintain a graceful tree form and appropriate proportions. This is especially true because Murraya paniculata has strong sprouting ability; to maintain a certain tree shape, attention must be paid to regular pruning.

  1. Pinching: To suppress the height growth of tree bonsai and promote the development and spreading of side branches, the tender tips of the branches can be pinched off.

  2. Bud removal: When many adventitious buds grow on the base or trunk of a tree bonsai, the buds should be removed at any time to prevent forked branches from sprouting and affecting the beauty of the tree shape.

  3. Branch pruning: Tree bonsai often produces many new branches. To maintain its beautiful shape, attention must be paid to regular pruning, and the pruning method should be determined according to the tree shape. Dead branches, parallel branches, crossing branches and others that hinder the appearance should be cut off in time. Useful branches can be kept until April to May in spring for another pruning combined with shaping.
