Poplar pruning in the first year?

Poplar trees in the first year should be pruned, usually in early spring. The lateral branches and weak buds of poplar can be pruned, which is beneficial to the growth of new buds and branches. Be careful not to get wet after pruning, otherwise the wound infected with bacteria will affect the growth of poplar. Appropriate amount of plant ash or healing agent can be applied to poplar wounds to promote wound healing.

Poplar trees in the first year should be pruned.

Poplar trees are generally suitable for pruning in early spring or late autumn. Poplar planted in the first year needs to be lightly cut after the lateral branches grow, and the lateral branches and weak buds can be cut off. The poplar in the first year is still in a weak growth stage, so don't over-prune it. After pruning, it is necessary to apply a proper amount of healing agent to the wound to avoid infection with bacteria.

Poplar is pruned in different periods, and the degree of pruning is different. Poplar trees that have grown for 1 ~ 3 years should be cut lightly, and a small amount of twigs can be cut off. Poplar trees of 4 ~ 5 years old can be pruned at the top, and the longer branches at the top need to be cut off. Some old branches and leaves on poplars also need to be cut off, which can save nutrients for poplars.

Poplar trees of 6-9 years old can be pruned completely, and the long branches, dense branches, dead branches, old branches and pest branches of poplars need pruning. After pruning these branches, a lot of nutrients can be avoided from being consumed, which is beneficial to the growth of new branches. If there are leaves with diseases and insect pests, cut them off and burn them centrally, and then spray poplar trees with relevant chemicals for treatment.

When pruning poplars, it should be noted that when pruning branches, they must be trimmed along the base of branches, and no piles should be left. When pruning, the speed should be fast, and the incision should be kept flat as far as possible, which is conducive to the healing of the incision. After pruning, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the wound can't get wet with water. You can apply proper amount of plant ash or healing agent to avoid bacterial infection.
