Pruning of annual autumn moon pear trees is mainly divided into winter pruning and spring pruning, and can be slightly pruned at other times. In winter, the branches of pear trees are mainly pruned to make them more sparse, which is beneficial to the germination of pear trees behind. In spring, the branches and leaves on new branches are mainly pruned, leaving redundant branches and leaves.

Pruning method of annual autumn moon pear tree

Pruning annual autumn moon pear trees can be divided into east pruning and spring pruning. Generally speaking, the leaves of pear trees will fall off after bearing fruit in autumn. First, it is mainly to prune some useless residual branches on pear trees. Cutting off these residual branches is beneficial to reduce the loss of nutrients, then thinning them and cutting off redundant branches such as cross branches, overlapping branches and tufted branches.

Cutting off the redundant branches of a pear tree will help its crown get in touch with more sunlight and promote the differentiation of flower buds. When pruning, try to leave only the main branches, which will help it grow more new branches in the coming year, increase its later yield and be more conducive to its growth.

In spring, its branches and leaves gradually grow out, so it is necessary to trim them. Spring is the peak of its growth. If its strong branches are shortened, some defective buds will be left on the short branches, which will make the buds grow faster, which is conducive to the accumulation of nutrients and can form more flower buds to increase the later yield.

For the newly developed branches, the strong branches are cut off, the weak branches are left, the straight branches are cut off, and the oblique branches are left. When sawing off the big branches, it is necessary to saw them flat without leaving piles, which is beneficial to their growth, greatly improving the quality of fruits and increasing the later yield.
