What is the pruning method of fruit trees?

1, shortcut

Short cutting means that when the plant grows to about 1 year, it is necessary to cut off some old branches and long branches when pruning the plant in the right season. When pruning, you can cut off the aging branches on the side branches and some old leaves to keep the strong branches. Cutting plants short can save nutrients for plants and help them grow better.

2. Shrinkage and shearing

In the process of fruit tree pruning, the method of pruning is also used more. When pruning, thin single branches, bald branches and aging branches on fruit trees will be cut off, which is beneficial to plant growth. Pruning can make the plants grow better and the branches are strong. As long as they are properly maintained in the later stage, the quality and quantity of fruits can be guaranteed.

3, refinement

The third method of pruning fruit trees is thinning, which is mainly to cut off the dense branches and excessive branches of fruit trees. After the dense branches are cut off, the growth space of branches becomes larger, which can avoid heavy branches and cross branches and is beneficial to the growth of branches and leaves. Flowers also need thinning. Cutting off dense flower buds can save nutrition and help plants bloom later.

4. Preventive measures

In the process of fruit tree pruning, pruning tools should be disinfected with alcohol in advance, and the priorities should be clear when pruning. Try not to move the main branches and trim the side branches properly. After pruning the fruit trees, keep the environment ventilated and avoid the wound from contacting with water. Appropriate amount of plant ash can be applied to the wound, which can prevent the wound from being infected with bacteria and promote wound healing.

Extended data:

Benefits of pruning fruit trees:

1, adjust the reasonable distribution of branches and leaves.

That is, on the basis of reshaping, the density, distribution direction and leaf area coefficient of each part of the crown are adjusted to maximize the effective photosynthetic area of the crown.

2. Regulating growth and results

Make nutrition grow normally but not too much; Moderate flowering and fruiting without weakening the tree; At the same time, it can prevent fruit trees from aging ahead of time and renew and rejuvenate in time.

3. Adjust the proportion of branches.

Short branches have short growth period, low consumption and early accumulation, but few leaves and low total photosynthesis; Vegetative branches have a long growth period and high consumption, but they also accumulate a lot in the later stage. Different tree species and tree ages need to have corresponding and appropriate branch proportions, so that the operation, distribution, consumption and accumulation of nutrients in a year's growth cycle can be coordinated according to the normal growth and reproduction rhythm. This can be achieved by pruning.

4, balanced production, convenient management

Pruning can also balance the growth potential between group plants and between the main branches of a plant, achieve balanced yield and facilitate management. In addition, pruning is also a means to coordinate the growth of shoot and root system.
