Time and method of blueberry picking and topping

Picking and topping blueberries can make the nutrition return, promote the growth of lateral branches, make the trees big and dense, and ensure the high yield of blueberries.

What do you mean by blueberry topping?

The core removal of blueberry is to remove the growing point at the top of each branch and control the flowers and trees to grow to both sides. Picking blueberries is to remove 1-2 buds at the top of branches, so as to control the growth of branches, change the transport direction of nutrients and differentiate flower buds.

Blueberries bloom after topping.

In June, the long branches of blueberry were removed, and the top branches formed 2-4 lateral branches. The next year, there were more buds and more flowers and fruits.

Suitable time for enucleation of blueberry

Blueberries grow quickly in July and August. At this time, the top can be picked continuously, so that a large number of lateral branches grow out and the tree body becomes larger.

Picking method of blueberry

Blueberries need to be pitted when the branches grow to 40cm, leaving the length of 15cm, so as to grow new branches and bear fruit. If it is a thick base branch, cut off a third at 50 cm.

Matters needing attention in removing the core of blueberry

Be careful after picking blueberries. Without proper care, many very thin branches are easy to germinate, which seriously affects the spread of light. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer for blueberry after stone removal, which helps it to have enough nutrients to grow more branches and make new branches grow rapidly.
