When to prune potted oranges

1. Pruning time

There are many times to prune potted oranges, and it can be done in spring and summer. It is usually done in spring around February and March, and in late spring and early summer it is mostly done in April to early July. In addition, pruning can also be done in July and August after entering summer.

2. Pruning tips

1. When pruning, we should not be too single-minded, but should proceed according to the specific growth conditions of the orange tree. However, some branches that have been attacked by diseases and insects, as well as those that are too long and grow cross-overlappingly should be pruned off. When there are more flowers, heavy pruning should be done, and when there are fewer flowers, light pruning should be done, that is, only the branches that are not growing well or are too dense need to be pruned. This is mainly done to reduce nutrient consumption and thus promote plant growth.

2. When the orange tree is in the fruit-bearing stage, it is necessary to remove the buds in order to reduce the amount of fruit on the upper part of the tree. During its growth period, it needs help to form a crown faster. If flower buds grow, they need to be removed.

3. Notes

In addition to the above times, pruning can also be done appropriately during normal maintenance. The main purpose is to remove diseased branches on the plant, because once other branches are allowed to grow, more branches will be infected.
