Pruning the branches of Sichuan pepper can keep the tree in a good ventilation and light environment, and can also help the tree form a good crown, optimize the internal lighting conditions, promote early fruiting and high yield of Sichuan pepper, and adjust the vigor of young and weak trees to a moderate state. In addition, pruning can help the tree become more stable and stronger, and can reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests, resulting in more flowers and fruits, thus ensuring high and stable yields of Sichuan pepper year after year. Pepper pruning timeThe best time to prune pepper trees is around January to February in spring and around September to October in autumn . Spring pruning is generally done after the sap flows and before new flower buds sprout, while autumn pruning is generally done after the fruit is picked and before the leaves fall. In addition, pepper trees are often pruned in summer. The pruning time is generally during the growth period from germination to leaf fall, but summer pruning is mainly carried out on young and vigorous trees. How to prune peppercorns1. Pruning during the early stages of growth When pruning young trees, the purpose is to shape the tree, form the crown and promote fruiting. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, shortening the top of the trunk, and then retaining 5 strong branches as the backbone and main branches. All other new shoots should be pinched to control their growth, and weak branches and branches infected with diseases and insects should be removed. This will allow the cultivation of fruiting branches. Attention should also be paid to the regulation and pruning of competing branches. At the same time, the main branches, side branches, auxiliary branches and fruiting branches should be selected and cultivated. 2. Pruning during the fruiting period During the initial fruiting stage, the focus is on continuing to expand the crown, cultivate branches, and adjust the tree vigor, which can promote more fruiting. Light pruning and thinning can be used during pruning, and the shortening method should not be used too much. The main pruning method during the peak fruit-bearing period is to cut back the branches, and finely prune the densely grown, crossed, diseased and insect-infested branches to remove the weak and retain the strong, so as to cultivate new fruiting branch groups. |
