When kumquat prunes young trees, light pruning is the main method. Generally, it is only necessary to prune clustered branches, dead branches and diseased branches; When kumquat prunes old branches, it is necessary to cut off the old branches outside the crown. These old branches have lost their fruiting ability and can be cut off from the base; When pruning green branches of kumquat, it is generally necessary to stay strong and stay weak, and the same top will grow 2-3 branches, which can be properly thinned; When kumquat is pruned, it must be cut off, because the overgrown branches will not only affect the growth of other sparse branches, but also the overgrown branches will be bare at the lower part and easily grow into broom branches. Therefore, when pruning, it can generally be cut off from the base; Kumquat prunes fruiting branches, usually pruning dense branches and weak flower branches; Pruning dead and diseased branches of kumquat should start from the base.
