When persimmon trees are pruned in spring, young buds near the root system and the top should be cut off to promote the growth of lateral buds and ensure fruit yield. When pruning in summer, prune the lush branches and cut off the overgrown branches. In autumn, cut off the branches that have been fruited and rotten, and in winter, cut off the branches that are aging, overlapping and infested.
When persimmon trees are pruned in summer, they should be pruned randomly to increase the branch spacing and avoid overgrowth and overgrowth. For branches that grow too long, they should be cut off to avoid consuming a lot of nutrients.
In autumn, we mainly prune the branches that have already borne fruit, those that only blossom but do not bear fruit, and those that have not been picked rotten. This can effectively reduce the consumption of water and nutrients, reserve sufficient nutrients for persimmon trees to survive the winter, and avoid malnutrition when the temperature is too low.
When pruning persimmon trees in winter, it is mainly to cut off the branches that have been aged, withered, overlapped, bifurcated and damaged by diseases and insect pests, so as to avoid infecting the whole plant and affecting normal growth and health. After pruning, be sure to apply carbendazim solution and plant ash to the wound, which can play the role of disinfection and sterilization and accelerate healing.
