The growth anniversary of citrus is endless, and it can also be pruned in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Many people are afraid of hurting flowers in spring and dare not cut them. In fact, it is easy to judge where there are flowers in spring, whether there are branches with flowers, and where the branches grow well. So pruning helps to ensure the yield.
The purpose of pruning
Correct modification is directly related to the final output and is closely related to the interests of citrus people. There are some differences between young tree pruning and fruit tree pruning.
Walk three times, walk twice five times, and the weak branches overlap, leaving the strong and weak in the dense space. On the other hand.
Long branches usually break (small trees can be cut). It is a strong nutritional value, and short cutting promotes the next branch. Weak branches contract to the ends of nearby strong branches. Trees with hollow holes or internal shading are trimmed with big branches, such as skylights.
summer pruning
Summer pruning can promote more, stronger and neater autumn shoots. Short shears (shears) are mainly used, including fallen flowers and fruit branches with a short diameter of more than 0.3 cm, dense branches in late spring, vacant apprentice branches, rotten branches and so on.
summer pruning
On New Year's Eve, trees should adjust the two ends of the fruit, then prune it, combined with pruning some fruits, so as to germinate in late autumn and reduce the fruits in different years.
Autumn is over.
The end of autumn generally depends on the age of the tree, its potential and fruit yield. Generally, abundant mountain trees are released in advance, and low mountain trees are delayed. Weak trees, old trees grow early, and Wang Shu plays a role.
Trim the end of autumn
Then on this basis, the end of autumn is selected, and each tail is left with 2 ~ 4 end of autumn in different directions, and the others are ignored in time.
What determines the yield of citrus?
Three-dimensional result volume
The yield per unit area of citrus is determined by the three-dimensional fruit and volume of the courtyard crown, which is large in volume and high in yield. Many people like to cut it again. In order to spend the late autumn, it is not advisable to over-prune it into a round-headed landscape tree. Because this will affect the crown growth and the bearing capacity of the courtyard crown.
Another factor that determines the yield is the proportion of fruit and leaves. Leave as many leaves as possible in citrus and cut it gently. Citrus is an evergreen fruit tree with long leaves and a lot of nutrients. Leaves are organs that make nutrients by photosynthesis, and there are many refreshments in the leaves, so keep the crowded branches and leaves.
