How to prune a small pepper tree

1. Pruning young trees

When pruning young trees, attention should be paid to shaping and fruiting. The pruning method should be mainly thinning and combined with short pruning. In the first year after planting, the branches should be shortened according to the height. In the second year, the branches 30 to 50 cm from the base of the trunk should be cut off. 5 to 7 main branches should be evenly retained and evenly shortened, and crowded branches, crossed branches, and thin branches should be trimmed off.

2. Pruning during the peak fruiting period

During the peak fruit-bearing period, pruning should gradually remove the extra large branches to complete the shaping steps, and the branches within the crown should be carefully pruned. Short pruning should be the main method of pruning. Through short pruning, the fruit-bearing branches can be continuously renewed and the growth of the remaining branches can be promoted.
