The wisteria on the brick wall has flowered for the first time this spring. And many new branches are growing. The wisteria was pruned to encourage flower buds for next spring. There are three pruning stages: the new branches are cut down to 60 cm at this time of year. Then in August, further pruning to 10 cm is carried out, and finally, in early spring, the flowering buds are checked and pruned again if necessary.
It was a very hot day, with a maximum temperature of 35°C, but the sun was shifting to the west, so I was able to work in almost no direct sunlight. Pruned branches and leaves were placed in compost bins.
レンガ塀の上の藤は今春初めて花を咲かせました. そしてたくさんの新しい枝を伸ばしています. 来春の花芽をつけさせるために、剪定を行いました. 剪定は3段階あり、この時期に新しい枝を60センチほどに切り詰めます. そして8月に10センチほどに更に切り、最後は早春に花芽を確認して必要ならまた剪定します.
最高気温が35℃もある猛暑日でしたが、日が西に傾いてきたのでほとんど直射日光を浴びずに作業はできました. 剪定した枝葉はコンポスト容器に入れました.
