Fruit tree pruning techniques

Fruit tree pruning techniques

1. Pruning method

1. Shortening: This pruning method is to cut off the buds and tips on the branches, which can concentrate nutrients and help the branches to sprout and grow better. However, for newly planted fruits, do not prune too much, as this may cause them to bear fruit slowly.

2. Pinching: It is mainly to prune the growing shoots, just cut off the tender parts at the top. This method is to promote the growth of new branches, which is very helpful for flowering and fruiting.

3. Thinning: When the fruit trees grow densely, they must be thinned out. Dense branches will consume nutrients and affect the air circulation and light exposure of the fruit trees. At the same time, thin and long branches should be cut off to avoid nutrient loss in the soil.

2. Precautions

1. When pruning, be careful not to have too many wounds. The cut should be smooth enough and no splitting should occur. This is not good for the growth of the fruit tree and the wounds will recover more slowly.

2. During the pruning process, try to cut the branches off at once. Do not rub the branches back and forth or shake them back and forth, otherwise the blade will be deformed. The scissors used for pruning must be disinfected before use.
