Kumquat potted plant pruning tips

Pruning during the growing season: The vegetative growth period refers to the one or two years after planting. During this period, if you find weak branches, small branches, and branches that compete with the main branches for nutrients, they must be cut off.

Pruning during the growing and fruiting period: During the growing and fruiting period, the overly dense branches should be thinned out to make the crown look more compact and only a small amount of fruit should be allowed to hang on the plant.

Pruning during the peak fruit-bearing period: The top buds should be removed in time, and the branches should be thinned out appropriately to promote better ventilation and light transmission inside the plant, ensure vigorous growth, and thus increase the overall yield.

Pruning during the senescence period: When the potted kumquat tree enters the senescence period, it needs to be pruned back. Cut all the branches short, keep the main branches of the plant, and cut off all other weak side branches, so as to enhance the germination ability of the old branches.
