How to Prune Shensi fir?
(Abies chensiensis)
Shensi fir, also known as Shensi fir
Shensi fir, a conifer with dense, pyramidal growth, benefits from pruning to maintain its shape and health. Optimal pruning times are early spring or late winter before new growth begins. Focus on removing dead, diseased, or crowded branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Avoid heavy pruning, as shensi fir can be sensitive to extensive limb removal. Regular light pruning helps promote a strong structure and reduces the risk of pest infestations.
