Can plum trees be pruned at MINUS 10 degrees?

Pruning plum trees is mainly carried out in summer and winter. Trim it three or five times in summer. It is mainly to cut off redundant branches and useless branches and control the density of branches to promote more vigorous growth. In winter, weak branches, old branches and diseased branches are mainly pruned, and only strong branches are left.

Second, pruning methods of plum trees

1. Pruning in the young tree period: Prunus mume grows faster in the young tree period and is easy to grow strong branches, so it should be pruned in time. At this time, pruning should be lightly cut, mainly by coring and budding, so as to promote the maintenance of a good tree shape.

2. Pruning at fruiting stage: Pruning at fruiting stage aims to enlarge the crown and increase fruiting branches, thus achieving the purpose of increasing production. When pruning, it is necessary to shorten and prune the branches that are too dense to make the overall tree shape better.

3. Pruning in full fruit stage: Pruning unnecessary weak branches and redundant branches in full fruit stage, reducing nutrient consumption, promoting the fruiting branches to absorb more nutrients and produce better results.

4. Pruning after picking: Prune prunes after picking. At this time, there will be fallen leaves and dead branches. Pruning is mainly to cut off withered old branches to preserve nutrients, so pruning is not only beneficial to overwintering, but also can preserve nutrients and promote new buds to form new branches faster.
