Branching can also alleviate or weaken the growth potential and promote the early flowering and fruiting of young trees. Branching is an effective technical measure to shape young trees and cultivate backbone branches such as main branches and side branches.
Branch bending operation
1 or two-year-old trees should be in good shape, but personal conditions are different when operating. Some people began to bend trees for more than a year, while others only bent trees for more than two years. According to the situation of their orchards, they bend early and knot early.
2, the growth of trees, generally 1 meter above trees can bend branches, expand crowns, and smoke the inner hall.
Bending time
1. Fruitless trees can be bent in autumn when they are a little ripe, usually from 10 to1.
2. Fruitful citrus trees should be bent after picking.
3. After autumn is slightly ripe, the temperature in the south is generally below 15 degrees, so it is no problem to bend branches.
Specific operation
1, the bending tool is hemp rope or packing rope, which is mainly used to fix the tree.
2. Trees with bent branches should be layered as much as possible, each plane is a layer, and each layer is on a horizontal plane.
4. When bending a branch, hold the main branch of the plant with your left hand, then hold the branch with your right hand, and twist it repeatedly from top to bottom and then from left to right.
5, bending angle, the bigger the bend, the more overlord branches; The bending is too small to effectively inhibit vegetative growth. General recommendations 45-60 normal operation, according to the guidance of technicians.
6. Pull the branches to the outer edge of the crown or the vacant place for fixing, so as to create more nutrition and promote flower bud differentiation.
7. After the bent branches are shaped, you can remove the hemp rope or let it fall off naturally.
Matters needing attention
The risk of bending branches
The technology of bending branches is not a simple operation of bending branches, and it needs reasonable nutrition adjustment to avoid damaging trees and achieve reasonable results. Novices can do it under the guidance of professional teachers, or they can do small-scale demonstration experiments.
