How to prune branches

First of all, the tip is twisted, and the tip is twisted by hand in the semi-lignified part of the vigorous upright new tip, so that the xylem and phloem are damaged without breaking. The second is to remove the core, that is, to remove the tender branch at the top of the growing branch, which can improve the nutrient distribution. The third is to pull branches at an angle of about 80 degrees, which can ease the tree potential. The fourth is pruning branches, and branches that are not growing well or are too dense should be cut off in time.

Branch pruning method

One is to twist the shoot, which is selected in the semi-lignified part of the vigorous upright shoot, and then twisted by hand, so that the xylem and phloem are damaged at the same time without breaking. Let the sprained new shoots droop or flatten naturally, twist the tender shoots at a distance of 15 cm from the base, and transform the long branches into fruiting branches.

The second is coring, which means removing the tender branch at the top of the growing branch, which can improve the nutrient distribution of the branch. The temporary suspension of the growth of the cored branches can reduce the nutritional competition with the adjacent branches, enrich the branches and improve the plumpness of the flower buds. When the tip is 20 cm long, you can pick the core. When the new tip grows to 30 cm, twist the tip.

The third is to pull the branches, usually in May-June, when the branches are easy to open and set. The angle of pulling branches is about 80 degrees, so be careful not to pull them into the water. After the branches are opened, it can alleviate the tree potential and improve the overall lighting conditions, so as not to block the light of the lower branches and lead to baldness.

The fourth is pruning branches. Cutting off those branches that are not growing well can save some nutrients and supply the trunk with growth. After pruning the overgrown branches, the permeability of the trees is also enhanced, which can better carry out photosynthesis, accumulate nutrients, make the trees grow longer, flourish and maintain good shape.
