pomelo trees are pruned once every two years. The most suitable pruning time is in spring and after harvest. In spring, the most vigorous branches are pruned, so that they are kept at a fixed height. During the growth period, useless branches such as overgrown branches, overlapping branches, cross branches, cross branches and sick branches are pruned, so that the plants can have good ventilation and light transmittance.

Pruning time of pomelo trees

The pomelo trees are pruned once every two years, and the most suitable pruning time is in spring and after harvest, because pruning in spring can control the growth of branches and make them bloom more flowers, while pruning after harvest will not affect the harvest, and can save nutrients for plants and improve fruit quality.

Pruning methods of pomelo trees

1. Preparation tools

Before pruning pomelo trees, special sterilized scissors and clean plant ash, diluted potassium permanganate solution and carbendazim solution should be prepared in advance.

2, topping

The most critical pruning task in the early growth of pomelo trees is topping, which can control the height of the plant and enable it to sprout more lateral branches. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out topping, cut off the most vigorous branches at the top, and keep pruning to keep them at a fixed height.

3. Thinning and shaping

If you want the pomelo tree to grow well and the quality of the fruit can be guaranteed, pruning by thinning and shaping is also necessary. All useless branches such as overgrown branches, overlapping branches, cross branches, cross branches, diseased branches and so on are cut off, so that the plant can have good ventilation and light transmittance and ensure the growth and development of the plant.

4. Post-maintenance

After pruning, the wounds of pomelo trees should be disinfected. plant ash or diluted potassium permanganate solution can be applied to the wounds, which can promote wound healing and improve the growth rate of the plants.
