You can have a look. In fact, most fruit trees are similar, especially the three brothers "Peach, Plum and Apricot", which correspond to the eldest brother "Apple and Pear", and they all need some pruning in summer.
Then the following points should be paid attention to when pruning plum trees in summer:
1. Prune the tree that is beneficial to the growth of plum trees.
This is the foundation. We can prune according to the shape of plum trees. Of course, the three-year-old plum tree is a small tree.
Then pruning at this time should ensure better light transmittance of Shu-you Li, so as to have better "photosynthesis" to grow.
There are two plum trees in my family, which were transplanted the year before last and are three years old this year. Plum trees have compact main branches (this is my personal opinion). So this pruning should ensure its looseness.
2. Pay attention to the time point of summer pruning
It is suggested that the pruning time should start from the middle and late June. At this time, most plums have finished fruit hanging and picking in a unit year.
So don't worry about pruning. Specifically, it can be done from four points: coring, twisting and girdling (it is recommended not to do it often).
Of course, there is only one purpose: "Let the plum tree grow towards the ideal tree shape, so that the quality of the fruit will be better and the management will be simpler and easier."
3, the practice of selecting branches and leaving branches
The specific principle is "keeping strong and weak, keeping secret and keeping new". This is of course closely related to 1 point, and this principle is also the most basic principle for pruning many other kinds of fruit trees in summer.
Therefore, plum trees that are more than three years old in summer can be pruned, and everyone can rest assured that they will grow stronger and better year by year, and the fruit will naturally be good. Plum trees over three years old can be pruned in summer. The purpose of pruning in summer is to improve the ventilation and light transmission of trees and alleviate their growth. If plum trees are allowed to grow freely, the branches will stagger and strive to grow upward. Will make the ceiling room closed and the light is insufficient. Resulting in low yield and poor quality. The specific pruning methods should be distinguished according to the growth of plum trees. Summer scissors, combined with winter scissors after completion, have better effect.
