A regular pruning promotes flowering
When should I cut my broom?
Even a low-maintenance broom occasionally needs a little attention in the form of a pruning. Without this he does not enter, but his appearance sometimes leaves something to be desired. So grab some pruning shears.
Does gorse have to be cut regularly?
A regular pruning is definitely recommended for the broom. This keeps the plant healthy and flowering. In the course of time, the broom tends to lignify and on these woody shoots he no longer flowers. After a few years, your broom only blooms in the upper area, while the lower area becomes increasingly bare.
When should I best cut my broom?
Her broom may be pruned both in spring and autumn. As a rule, an annual average is sufficient, or alternatively every three to four years. Ideally, carry it out after the flowering season in June.
Although the real broom (bot Genista) is quite hardy, but now and then a (young) shoot freezes. Check your broom in spring always on dry branches and remove them immediately.
Does Ginster also stand a radical cutback?
The broom is quite robust and also tolerates a rather radical pruning. However, this should not be done too often. About every three to five years you can cut your broom to about 35 to 40 centimeters.
Make sure that at least one branch stops. So the plant drives out nice bushy again. A Radikalschnitt should not take place in late autumn, otherwise the gorse threatens frost damage. The exception to this rule is a broom in a pot or bucket. He should winter but then frost-free.
