Kiwifruit in China, whether cultivated in shed or hedgerow, grows vigorously with great branches and leaves. Therefore, pruning in winter and summer is a necessary measure to control excessive growth of branches and vines, reduce nutrient consumption, promote flower bud differentiation, and maintain growth and fruit balance.

After the kiwifruit bears part of the fruit, it becomes a blind node and cannot continue to branch. Only if more than one node has axillary buds, you can shoot branches in the next year. So when pruning, you can't cut it short at the node where the fruit bears.

When plants enter the fruiting stage, all new shoots are easy to blossom and develop into fruiting mother branches except the old vines at the base, so attention should be paid to controlling their density during pruning to avoid overload. Generally, within the range of 10 square meter, 12 fruiting mother branches are reserved, and 54 ~ 60 fruiting branches are produced, with an average of 3 fruiting branches. The result of * * * is 162 ~ 180. Too many branches are left or not pruned, the branches are short in internodes, with small leaves, many fruits, poor quality and heavy pests and diseases, resulting in some outward migration, serious branch death and low economic benefits; Excessive pruning, flourishing leaves, few flowers and low yield.

While shaping kiwifruit, we should also pay attention to tying vines to avoid entanglement and affect ventilation and light transmission. After the young trees are planted, they should be erected to guide the branches and vines to the frame surface; Perennial main vines and side vines should also be firmly tied on the frame surface and evenly distributed. For vigorous fruiting mother branches, if they are collapsed fruiting mother branches, they should be tied horizontally, so that all branches and buds on the fruiting mother branches are under the same conditions and keep balanced growth and fruiting; For the weak bearing branches, it is advisable to bind them vertically, reduce the germination amount of bud eyes, concentrate nutrition supply and promote the change from weak to strong; For fruiting branches with moderate growth, inclined binding should be adopted to promote their growth and fruit balance.
