When to prune plum trees

Plum blossom pruning is often done after the flowers have faded, usually accompanied by pruning after repotting. The pruned branches can be propagated by cuttings.

Plum blossoms should be pruned after the flowers fade. During normal maintenance, the branches should be shortened and some long branches should be cut off. When the new branches grow to 20-25cm, the tops should be cut off. When the new branches grow to 15cm, they need to be topped to promote the growth of new branches and the germination of flower buds.

Plum Tree Pruning Tips

When the plum tree grows 20cm new branches, the top should be cut short and the top should be pinched. Usually, the overgrown, weak and diseased branches should be cut off. After flowering, the remaining flowers should be trimmed to promote the germination of new leaves.

Plum tree pruning precautions

Plum blossoms should be pruned according to their variety characteristics. For varieties that mainly bloom on short branches or bouquet-shaped branches, light cutting and slow release measures should be adopted. Different pruning methods should be used at different ages. Light pruning should be applied to vigorous growth, while heavier pruning should be applied to weak growth.
