When is the right time to prune jujube?

The effect of pruning green jujube

The crown area of ​​the jujube is large during its growth process. If it is not pruned in time, the tree will tilt, which will have a bad impact on the management of the staff. Therefore, in the face of this situation, in order to ensure the growth quality of the jujube, it is necessary to perform overall pruning of the jujube branches and leaves in daily life.

Time for pruning jujube

Jujube trees are mainly pruned in winter and summer, generally twice a year. During their young years, they are mainly shaped by rationally allocating the main branches to create a sparse, layered, and open-heart-shaped plant shape. After they become adult trees, the fruiting branches should be thinned out, and the main branches should not be pruned drastically.

Propagation of jujube by cutting

The green jujube is propagated by grafting and sowing. Generally, it is grafted with sour jujube, and bark grafted in early April.

Methods of pruning jujube

1. Focus on pruning the jujube seedlings, shorten the branches that are more than a certain distance from the ground, and ensure that the remaining branches have good ventilation and light transmittance, reduce the incidence of diseases and pests, and ensure the growth quality of jujube.

2. When pruning the branches of the jujube tree, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "overall branches" as the main principle, cut off some branches to induce the growth of seedlings, and ensure the growth quality and quality of the seedlings.

3. The branches of the jujube tree need to be pruned every year. In this case, the branches of the jujube tree need to be grafted. Saw off the branches on the ground of the jujube tree trunk, and then graft them. The jujube tree will automatically sprout and grow, thereby ensuring the healthy growth of the jujube tree trunk.

4. Prune the long shoots of the jujube. After the jujube fruits are ripe and harvested, it is necessary to keep 1.50 meters of branches on the main branches of the jujube and saw off the rest to ensure that other branches can grow smoothly after 1 month, avoid problems such as malnutrition in the branches, and improve the growth quality of the jujube.

Precautions for pruning green jujube

For green jujube, where there is space on the side branches, main branches and central trunk, the fruiting branches should be reasonably arranged to achieve a balance between growth and fruiting. Light pruning is mainly done. For trees with disordered shapes, they should be renewed year by year. Do not over-prune, otherwise it will easily cause excessive growth and disrupt the balance between growth and fruiting.
