Seabuckthorn pruning can be divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. In summer, it generally goes from germination to defoliation, and in winter, it goes from defoliation to tree bud germination in the following spring. Heavy pruning in winter is conducive to concentrated nutrition and the growth of new shoots. Pruning lightly in summer will weaken the growth, but it will promote the results well.

Second, the pruning method

1, thinning: thinning is the most common pruning method, mainly for seabuckthorn trees that grow well. This pruning is mainly concentrated in the growing period, so it is necessary to check the growth of branches and leaves regularly and cut off branches that are too dense and weak. At the same time, if there are branches with pests and diseases, they should also be cut off. For cross branches and overlapping branches, it is necessary to prune them properly to improve the ventilation and light transmission of the crown, so that they can better accumulate nutrients and control pests and diseases.

2, cut short: cut short is mainly for annual branches, do not need to trim too long, cut off one third. This pruning is mainly to promote the emergence of new branches and increase their branches. More branches make it easier to blossom and bear fruit. If you prune too hard, you will cut off too many parts and make the sprouted branches stronger. Although it is not conducive to fruiting, it can develop developmental branches, thus cultivating more fruiting branches.

3, coring: coring is also a more commonly used pruning method. Removing the growth point at the top of the branch can inhibit its own growth, but it will promote branching and improve the fruit setting rate.
