摘要 Prunus mume has high ornamental value, and its maintenance and management should be more meticulous, with pruning being an important task. Pruning can make P. mume more robust, reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, maintain a good shape, and promote more flowering, further improving its ornamental value. The difficulty of pruning lies in flexibly adopting suitable pruning methods according to the time of the tree, which requires understanding the impact of pruning operations on the growth and flowering of P. mume, as well as some techniques in pruning operations. This paper introduces the botanical characteristics of P. mume, common pruning methods and achievable effects of P. mume, and suitable time for using various methods, and analyzes the possible consequences and reasons of some incorrect operations. Moreover, corresponding correct practices are provided, which can provide reference for standardized pruning of P. mume, thereby reducing or avoiding losses caused by improper operation.
