Method of pruning branches

Chop: Cut off a part of the branch to stimulate the germination of lateral buds and grow new buds. Thinning branches: Cut branches from meristem to ensure even distribution of branches and improve ventilation and light transmission. Tillering: Remove twigs growing at the base of the trunk and near the wound, or root tillers growing at the root. Nucleation: Remove the reserved branches and basic branches.

How to prune 1 and short branches?

One of the pruning methods of branches is short cutting, that is, cutting off a part of branches to stimulate lateral bud germination, sprout new buds and increase the number of new branches. Shortening can be divided into mild, moderate, severe and retraction. , in which 1/5- 1/4 of the total branch length is cut off by light and short cutting, and 2/3-3/4 is re-cut.

2, refinement

When thinning branches, branches are mainly cut from meristem to adjust the uniform distribution of branches, increase the space inside the plant, improve ventilation and light transmittance, which is beneficial to the formation of crown and the differentiation of flower buds. The objects of thinning branches are pests, dead branches, over-dense branches and cross branches.

3, except tillering

When removing the tillers of trees, we must remove the twigs growing near the base of the trunk and the wounds or roots growing from the roots, otherwise these branches and roots will affect the tree shape and disperse the nutrients in the tree body, which is not conducive to the vigorous growth of trees.

4. Choose your heart

Topping, also known as topping, refers to the work of removing the top of reserved branches, basic branches or side branches. Picking can control the height of trees, which is conducive to the bold growth of plants and accelerate the development of flower buds and fruits. Picking is usually carried out in the morning to avoid sun burns caused by strong light.
