Truncation: For peach trees that stand out from the crowd and soar to the sky, the top should be truncated from the top branch at 1 m. Dense and sparse: cut off dense, cross and overlapping branches and keep thick and sparse branches. Cut off diseased branches: cut off injured branches and residual branches of pests and diseases. Note: Before pruning peach trees, prepare clean and sharp scissors.

Pruning method of peach tree 1, cutting top branches.

During the growth of peach trees, it is necessary to remove the apical dominance and balance the tree state of the plants. For peach trees that stand out from the crowd and soar into the sky, they should be cut off from the top branches at 1 m to make the branches develop around and form a circular crown, which is conducive to increasing light and ventilation and facilitating future management.

2, go to the secret and stay thin

When pruning peach trees, we should also pay attention to removing dense and leaving sparse, because after growing for one year, the branches will become chaotic. At this time, the dense, cross and overlapping branches should be cut off, and the rough branches should be kept to improve the fruit setting rate.

Step 3 cut off the diseased branches

In the process of pruning peach trees, damaged branches and residual branches of diseases and insect pests should be removed to reduce the occurrence and spread of diseases and insect pests, and try to keep branches that develop horizontally around them, so as to expand the crown area and improve photosynthetic efficiency.

4. Preventive measures

Pay attention to prepare clean and sharp scissors before pruning peach trees. It is best to wipe the disinfection knife edge with carbendazim solution first, and follow the principle of fast, accurate and hard pruning to ensure that the pruning is smooth and tidy. After cutting, apply quicklime water or plant ash to the wound for disinfection.
