The best time to prune trees

The best time to prune trees is March-April in spring or August-September in autumn.

At this time, the temperature and humidity are suitable, which is beneficial to the restoration of trees. When pruning trees, cut off the branches that are not growing well, so that they can grow stronger new branches every year. Choose early summer, because the early summer light lasts for a long time, the light is sufficient, the water evaporation in leaves is not very serious, and a small amount of photosynthesis in leaves can supplement nutrients.

If you choose the summer with vigorous growth and cut off the leaves, it will cause insufficient nutrients provided by photosynthesis, and the water in the wound will evaporate quickly. Choose autumn and winter seasons, the temperature drops, the light weakens, and pruning is easy to damage trees.

Matters needing attention in pruning trees

Before pruning a big tree, you should write a plan. Before any pruning operation, you should first determine the orientation and effect of different big trees. In order to achieve a clear goal, there should be a clear plan for the species, growth cycle, tree structure and pruning method of each tree.

As for the pruning of big trees, try to prune them during the dormant period. If you prune during the growing period, you should pay attention to the fact that the leaves should not exceed 25% of the tree, and at the same time, you should adjust the percentage area according to the various conditions of the tree. When pruning the side branches of trees, it should be noted that the trimmed side branches should be large enough to occupy the top advantage.
