The period of pruning for young non-fruiting lychee trees is not too strict and can generally be carried out in each growing season. However, during the pruning process, pay attention to the shape of the tree and pruning according to the branches, and be flexible, and avoid excessive pruning. Affects tree vigor;
There is a certain time limit for pruning fruiting trees (young, young and adult trees). The important period is to apply quick-acting fertilizers after the lychees are harvested. After the tree vigor is restored, normal comprehensive pruning, jujube retraction, renewal pruning and thinning can be carried out. Pruning can be done at different parts according to the requirements of cultivating a high-yielding crown. . During the shoot growth period, overly dense shoots can be wiped off. Each time new shoots mature, some weak branches, overly dense branches, etc. can also be thinned out according to specific conditions.
In addition, be careful not to prune lychee-bearing trees in autumn and winter, that is, do not prune after the last autumn shoot-bearing mother branch has matured. Otherwise, it will promote vegetative growth (stimulate the germination of winter shoots) and destroy vegetative growth and reproduction. The balance of growth is detrimental to flowering and fruit setting.
