When to prune guava

Guava generally bears fruit once a year, blooming once in May and again in August-September. It is necessary to do a good job of pinching the tips. Pruning during the first fruiting period is mainly to control the growth, increase the number of effective branches, and promote the emergence of fruiting branches. Branches without fruits need to be pinched.

Guava pruning

Guava needs to be pruned after the fruit is harvested in spring, and the overly dense branches and leaves need to be thinned out. It needs to be pruned after the fruit is harvested in summer, and the branches need to be shortened in time when there are no fruits to control the excessive growth of branches. When it is a young tree, it needs to be shaped to allow it to grow well.

Guava Pruning Tips

When pruning guava, the main thing is to cut off some diseased and insect-infested branches, overgrown branches, and overly dense branches. When pruning, you can give priority to cutting off the branches and leaves with more fruits. Those with fewer fruits can be pruned later. Generally, the method of thinning branches is adopted, first cutting off the denser branches and leaves, and then cutting off some dead branches.

Guava pruning precautions

When pruning guava, you need to be careful to prune it in time 3-4 months after planting. Use sterilized scissors when pruning. And after pruning, place it in a well-ventilated place for maintenance in time to prevent the wound from rotting.
