Trimming jasmine (chubushnika) after flowering: why should not miss and how to make

I know that many readers of the channel is very versed in botanical terms. It should be called pelargonium geranium, and a barrage of negativity in the comments provided. So I apologize in advance)

In the title I wrote "Jasmine", because that is a shrub called by the people and so it is clear 90% of the audience. I hope the question is closed. But, undoubtedly, jasmine - is quite another plant. But both plants pleasant smell and white flowers, and hence the growing confusion feet.

Now, to business.

Chubushnik growing quite rapidly. Without careful monitoring of the gardener and not knowing secateurs, shrub branches in every imaginable hand, part of the old branches otsushivaet, releasing dozens (and in old age - and hundreds!) Of small shoots. With this we have to work.

Jasmine pruned right after flowering. If the shear bush in early spring, the abundant flowering can not wait. To delay the procedure, too, is not: in the autumn cold and humid, something may rot. And the new branches that can lay the beginnings of flowering the following year, may not have time to grow.

What happens to mock oranges, if not to take up pruner

Chubushnik left without pruning, risks being left behind:

• Crohn jasmine be unevenly illuminated by sunlight. Because the excess branches provide extra shade!
• Shoots that should be cut off, interfere with each other. Better to leave one strong branch that fluffed than in its place will grow 3, but weak.
• It just looks messy. The following year, the bush can be like a wreck.

I do not claim that an uncircumcised jasmine garden is doomed. But we can help the plant to become more beautiful and healthier. Make up your mind: cropping is only in favor.

By the way, not necessarily clip out the shape of a perfect sphere. You can (and I even prefer this option) to leave the "natural" appearance. But removing that which prevents chubushnik show their natural charm.

How to cut chubushnik to it the following year was a luxury bush

By myself I know: when you approach to a huge bush with shears, then you do not know where to take. Create a simple plan that will help you.

Mandatory "program":

1. First of all, without pity cut off all dry. It is useless branches.
2. Old branches, the tips of which nearly fell on the ground, it is better to shorten. Here come to the aid of the second gardener friend - a saw. Sometimes all it is advisable to cut them up by the roots: for example, when they disturb neighbors or smaller branches they began to dry mass.
3. Crown necessarily need to decimate that all is well illuminated by the sun. Of 2 branches, growing nearby, leave one.
4. Too long branches pruned so that they do not get out of the bush.

And if desired, and the time you can trim the ends of the branches, to remove all the faded blossoms. Of course, with a large plant, this trick will not work! Put a "Thumbs up", if you like jasmine and the article was useful.
