When citrus reticulata Jr. grows to 1 meter, it should be topped, and the height should be well controlled. You also need to cut off messy branches and dry branches. In the growing period, overlapping branches, over-dense branches and cross branches must be cut off in time, just from the tip. Prune fruitless, susceptible and thin branches at the fruiting stage to reduce nutrient consumption. Usually, you can also carry out plastic surgery according to the plant shapes you are interested in, so as to make the plant shapes more beautiful and generous.

1. Seedling growth period

On the basis of plastic surgery, citrus reticulata Jr. should give priority to plastic surgery. In the first and second years after transplantation, we should continue to carry out branch shaping and select seedlings and branches to make the tree compact and flourish. Plastic surgery 3 ~ 4 times a year, generate trunk as soon as possible, and cut off buds in time. In the growing season of Little citrus reticulata, there will inevitably be many messy branches, overlapping branches, too dense branches, crossed branches and so on. Will germinate, and they also need to be cut off from the tips of branches and leaves in time to prevent the continued consumption of nutrients. Effective pruning can promote the strong buds of strong branches, which is beneficial to the later flowering and fruiting.

2. Growth and fruiting period

Continue to shape the crown of Little citrus reticulata and bear appropriate fruits. 2 ~ 3 new shoots are promoted every year, and the branches are evenly arranged to form a compact trunk as soon as possible. The middle and upper ends of plants do not bear fruit or little fruit during the day, and pruning is mainly based on bud wiping and shoot control. Prune the lush branches of the plant at the fruiting stage, and prune the branches that cannot bear fruit, which are heavy and thin. Infected branches must be pruned so that plants can grow new branches and produce more fruits with better quality.

3. Full fruiting period

The height of Little citrus reticulata is generally controlled below 250cm, the trunk is open, the outfield is convex and concave, the branches grow vigorously, and the thickness of the green leaf sublayer is above 100cm, which is ventilated, transparent and stereoscopic. Control the intersection between rows, and the trunk coverage rate is 75% ~ 85%. Pruning is because of the tree's affection, deleting dense and keeping sparse, removing weak and keeping strong; Cut constantly, the reason is still chaotic; Cut down more trees and plant more flowers, and cut down less trees and plant less.

renovate

After cutting off the branches of plants, plants should be renovated according to their plant types to make them more beautiful and generous. At this time, renovation can also prevent plants from consuming nutrients and endangering the fruits of plants; Nutritious plants can be stronger and avoid diseases.
