When to prune Majiayu

Ma Jia Yuzu is usually pruned in spring and after harvest. In spring, the plant begins to resume growth. Pruning at this time can control branch density and promote flowering. Pruning after fruiting can reduce nutrient waste.

How to prune branches and leaves of Majiayu

1. Pruning young trees

Young Majiayou trees are mainly pruned lightly. After they are established and survive, the trunk is trimmed at 60 cm from the main trunk, and three branches in different directions are selected as main branches. When the main branches are 20 cm long, they are pinched to promote branching. For branches with undesirable angles, they are pulled to promote an even distribution of the main branches. The main function of pulling branches is to open the angle, increase branches, and produce fruit earlier.

2. Pruning of early fruit trees

Since the young trees are not shaped and pruned, the plants are straight, causing the inner cavity to be empty and the fruit-hanging part to move upward. At this time, pruning work needs to be done to adjust the relationship between vegetative growth and reproductive growth, improve ventilation and light conditions, and allow every leaf to be exposed to sunlight.

Steps for pruning pomelo

1. First of all, you need to prune the Ma Jia Yuzu according to its growth shape, size and growth cycle. When the Ma Jia Yuzu is a young branch, pay attention to pinching the top to allow the side branches to grow better. This is also considered a part of pruning.

2. The next step is to prune the Ma Jia Yu before it blooms. Before it blooms, be sure to prune off some branches with dense leaves, especially some thick leaves.

3. The Ma Jia Yuzu should also be pruned after flowering, keeping the branches with more flowers, and try not to prune the branches with flowers. The purpose of pruning is to achieve better results for the flowers.

4. The purpose of pruning the Ma Jia Yuzu after it has produced fruit is to pay attention to the overall shape. Be careful not to touch the fruit when pruning. After pruning, spray growth hormones and fruit-bearing hormones to increase the fruit-bearing rate of the Ma Jia Yuzu.

5. After picking the fruits of the Ma Jia Yu, trim off some of the larger branches to prepare for fruiting next year and preserve the nutrients of the Ma Jia Yu tree. This is usually winter at this time.

Tips for pruning pomelo

Pruning young Majiayou trees can shape the tree's skeleton, cut off vigorously growing branches and overgrown branches, coordinate the main branches and branches, and create a productive tree shape. Adult Majiayou trees have lush branches and leaves, so the top branches need to be properly pruned, and the branches growing inside need less pruning. Only necessary cross branches need to be pruned to cultivate the internal fruiting branches.
