One, two, three simple fruit tree pruning methods

One, two or three simple pruning methods for fruit trees are as follows:

1, shortcut

Experienced fruit farmers all know that small-scale pruning of fruit tree branches can promote branch differentiation, so traditional pruning methods mostly use short cutting. But what many fruit farmers don't know is that if the fruit trees are cut too many times, it will easily lead to the vigorous growth of fruit trees, which will adversely affect the ventilation of fruit trees and the growth of flower buds in the next spring. So it is not recommended to use shortcuts all year round.

2. Compact records

The long-term release of branches is the slow growth and enhancement of branches, and it is also an important measure to speed up the flowering of fruit trees. However, according to the requirements of our simple pruning method today, branches should actually be left for several years, which is more conducive to the formation of slender, evacuated and naturally drooping branches. This method works best on red Fuji apples. When the drooping branches reach more than one meter, it will form a bead curtain-like result, so that the apple head formed is round and symmetrical, and the fruit shape is full.

Step 3 take it back

In fruit tree pruning, it is necessary to achieve the purposes of lowering the head, changing the head, raising the branches and changing the branches. All contract through branches. However, when the fruit is in full bloom, a large number of retraction methods are easy to add color to the outside of the main branches and cause local fruit trees to fall off, so retraction technology is not used in simple pruning methods.

The most basic method of simple pruning is thinning branches, that is, removing useless branches, keeping the spacing between branches and establishing a balanced and harmonious relationship between branches. Clear the big lateral branches on the main branches at the bottom of the fruit tree in time, sparse the competitive branches between the main branches and the multi-differentiated branches, reduce the external occlusion, and improve the ventilation and light transmission of the inner cavity of the tree. Insufficient control, the angle is close to the main branch, and the optimal spacing of parallel branches should be less than 50 cm overlap rate.
