Rules of pruning tui

Thuja plants should be cut off not only with the aim of forming the crown, but also to remove damaged and dried branches. And do it should in strict accordance with the instructions:

  • Thuja care in the fallThe cutting of a thuja, as a rule, is made in the first decade of April or in the last decade of June. But often, the maintenance of the necessary form has to be carried out monthly from the first summer month until the onset of cold weather. Crop thuya is also carried out in the fall, the only important condition is dry weather.
  • All damaged branches are removed from the plant first. In addition, the western thuja needs thinning of the crown, for which it is necessary to cut out part of the healthy living branches. This measure helps to improve air circulation between the branches of the crown, and also reduces the risk of pests.
  • In order to correct the direction in which the tree will grow, its upper part must be cut at the required level. As a result, comes thuya, growing in breadth. And in order to form a dense spherical shrub, for those plants whose species provides such an opportunity, it will be necessary to remove from the thuja those branches that differ from the majority of the shoots crown in length.
  • In the case when it is planned to conduct a decorative haircut supporting an already formed crown, a certain part of annual shoots should be cut from the tree. More intensive pruning often leads to the formation of areas in which there are only old branches devoid of fresh greenery, which causes the plant to lose its decorative effect.
  • In the case when pruning has to be carried out more often than usual for this sort of standards, you should reduce the amount of mineral and organic fertilizing plants.
  • If the formation time is missed, it is necessary to carry out sanitary pruning during the summer months, during which it will get rid of frozen branches, and also to thin the crown.
  • Tui growing in a shaded area, usually there is no need to thin out, because their crowns are often not thick enough.
  • When transplanting adult plants, you should try to preserve the earth roots surrounding them. It should be remembered that the younger the tree, the easier it is to transfer the transplant. It is best to produce it in the fall.
  • After the trimming of a tree is over, it needs to be poured over with water, treated with a growth stimulant solution and fed. Forming pruning of this plant is carried out no earlier than the next season, after it has gained strength well enough.

After completing all the work on clearing and shaping the crown of the thuja, its condition must be monitored for some time, in order to detect diseases or pests, quickly take all necessary measures to destroy them.
