One-year-old loquat has the characteristics of pumping and rotating branches, and the layering distance is dense, which leads to more branches on the crown and less tops, more outside and less inside, and insufficient light. Therefore, dense branches, weak branches, overlapping branches, cross branches, long branches and redundant branches or weak branches without spatial development should be thinned out. At this time, loquat trees are producing a large number of branches, and pruning at this time is not conducive to the growth of loquat trees. If you want to prune, you can choose to prune after the new shoots stop growing every year, about July, which has little effect on loquat trees and can promote the later growth and development.

Nursery should be in sunny and well-drained sandy loam. Before sowing, the nursery should be dug deep and disinfected with 3% quicklime. The seedbed is1.2m wide and 20cm high. The bed surface should be meticulous and smooth, and stones and weeds should be removed. Ditches and trails should be straight, and great attention should be paid to the degree of pruning. Chen Minghua said that loquat branches have thick leaves, few branches and leaves, and the regeneration ability of branches is weak, so it can't be limited to a certain pruning form and cut off too many branches and leaves. It is best to ensure a certain amount of branches and leaves, but also close to the ideal tree.

It is hot and rainy in summer to promote the growth of new shoots; It is also the burden of plant reproductive growth after adoption. Therefore, summer pruning is stronger than spring pruning, and the number and average length of branches are more. After three years of pruning observation of 10 annual trees, loquat likes warm climate. The annual average temperature is 15℃, the lowest temperature in winter is not lower than -5℃, and the temperature in young fruit is not lower than -3℃. Loquat blooms in winter and matures in early summer. The low temperature in winter will directly affect the yield of that year.

Loquat usually blooms in autumn or early winter, so fertilization and watering are slightly different from other fruits. Loquat mainly has two fertilization periods throughout the year, one is before flowering and the other is after fruiting. Before flowering, decomposed farm manure or organic fertilizer should be applied to fruiting branches and fruiting mother branches mainly before flower bud differentiation. Pruning is generally not allowed. In this way, after the branches are picked, new buds can be pulled out from the base, which leads to heading and flowering. But some weak branches can be cut off from the base.
