Putting peach trees in a reasonable tree shape is conducive to achieving high yield and high quality. But the position, angle and number of branches on each tree are different. For example, the horizontal included angle of the three main branches is not 120, some are 150, and the other angle is 90. The position of the upper branch of the main branch does not conform to the position of the standard tree. It needs to be mastered flexibly according to the distribution of branches on different trees.
(2) Master and slave are distinct, and the tree potential is balanced.
Ensuring a good subordinate relationship among main branches, lateral branches and branch groups is the guarantee to maintain a good tree shape and a reasonable tree structure. The growth potential, individual size and the height of extended branches of main branches are larger than those of side branches, and side branches are larger than branches. If the growth of trunk branches is unbalanced, the space will not be fully utilized and the yield will be low. We should take various measures to suppress the strong and help the weak, and achieve the goal of balanced growth of backbone branches.
(3) pruning in four seasons, mainly in the growth period
Peach trees have the early maturity of buds, and secondary branches are easy to occur on the new shoots that sprouted that year. If not trimmed in time, the branches in the crown are too dense, which will lead to the closure of the crown or the whole garden, and the ventilation and light transmission are poor. Therefore, in addition to reasonable pruning in winter, it is also necessary to emphasize that pruning should be carried out many times during the growing period, and the new branches and branches with excessive density and flourishing leaves should be cut off in time. For young trees, extended branches can be used for multiple coring, and secondary branches can be used for rapid shaping.
(4) Close planting is not dense, close planting is not dense, and the branches see the light.
In order to improve the early yield of peach trees, dense planting is widely used in production at present, and there are many trees per unit land area, but the number of branches per unit land area should be kept reasonable, which is the same as that of peach branches in the period of sparse planting and full fruit. Only in this way can we ensure strong fruit branches. For dense planting gardens, the main branches should be drained or excessively drained according to the growth of trees and the change of the number of branches in the whole garden. The main branch is the carrier of fruiting branch group and fruiting branch. Too many main branches will inevitably lead to less fruiting branches and low yield. Therefore, when peach branches are dense, the number of backbone branches should be appropriately reduced first.
