Almond trees have characteristics such as large crowns, large amounts of flowers, severe fruit drop, early-maturing buds, and weak branching ability. If pruned according to conventional methods, branches at all levels will grow slowly, forming a large number of slender and long branches, which will cause damage to the inner lining of the tree. Empty, the resultant parts move outward and the output decreases. The apricot tree pruning method invented by Gong Maolu, a fruit farmer in Yushushan Village, Changlu Town, Mengyin County, Shandong Province, mainly uses short cutting in summer and supplemented by pruning in winter. It can create a natural open-shaped tree with short trunk, small crown, compactness and suitable for dense planting. Due to the tree shape, the apricot blossoms on some fruit branches can also avoid late frost, thus reducing the sudden flowering frost in early spring. This method is suitable for orchards with poor soil, drought, and lack of irrigation conditions in mountainous areas. The time and method of short pruning in summer for red purse apricots are different from other apricot varieties. After the fruit is harvested in late May, the strong new shoots of the current year should be cut into short piles and the length should be 5-13 cm. After the strong new shoots are shortened, each new shoot can sprout 2-5 secondary branches. When pruning in winter, keep 3-13 cm of secondary branches. In the second year, the secondary branches generally bear fruit, each fruiting branch bears 1-2 fruits, and each summer pruning group can bear 2-7 fruits. At the same time as the secondary branches bear fruit, each branch mostly sprouts 1-2 new shoots and leaf clusters, and newer branches can also sprout on the primary branches.
