1. Remove some branches
The main purpose of apple trees is to produce more fruits, so if there are too many branches on the tree, it will consume a lot of nutrients and affect the health of the people. Flowering and fruiting, so some branches need to be pruned. First remove the withered branches on the tree. These branches are useless and will affect the growth. Remove the branches that are not completely withered. Look for diseased branches on the tree. These branches will affect healthy branches and should be cut off as soon as possible.
2. Thinning and pruning branches
Remove some of the densely distributed branches and thin them out, leaving strong branches. Although these dense branches will also bear fruit, the fruit will not The quality is not good, relatively small.
3. Seedling pruning
For apple tree seedlings, you should also pay attention to pruning, and promote growth through pruning. Prune appropriately during the period of vigorous growth, shorten overgrown branches, and retain strong main branches. This can save nutrients and allow the remaining nutrients to promote later development.
4. Short-cut branches
For branches that have grown for more than one year, some are relatively long. Such branches should be short-cut and the excessively long parts should be removed.
5. Flower and fruit thinning
During the flower bud differentiation period, smaller and poorly developed flower buds can be removed, and fruit thinning should also be carried out after fruiting.
