Understanding the flowering characteristics of big cherry branches is very important for managing big cherry and taking reasonable technical measures. Axillary buds are easy to form at the base of new shoots of big cherry, which is very beneficial to the formation of early yield. After the annual branches are thrown out, many "five-pronged" new buds are easy to germinate at the top. According to the characteristic that "axillary buds are easy to form at the base of new shoots", a lot of vigorous new shoots are left to continue to extend outward. For other new shoots, multiple coring methods are used to control growth and promote flower formation. After the annual branches are thrown out, except for a few leafy shoots on the back, all the other buds grow leaves; Some foliage branches can form flower buds in the same year, and the law of flower formation is from the top of the branch to the base of the branch, that is, the foliage branches in the middle and upper parts (or the middle and front ends) are easy to form flowers, while the middle and lower parts are difficult to form flowers; The leaves in the middle and rear parts are weak, with few leaves and small leaf area. After several years of growth, it is easy to die branches (buds) and form local bald zones. This feature forces producers and cultivators to take corresponding measures in shaping and pruning to prevent the formation of bare belts.
The annual branches are short, and several new buds germinate under the incision, and the short branches of the leaf cluster germinated below can also become flowers in the same year. When the sprouted shoots grow vigorously, the lower branches grow weakly due to the nutrient distribution of the tree, which affects the number of flowers.
The purpose of "carving buds" on the middle stem is to promote the growth of flourishing strips and fill the space, but sometimes individual leaves can't grow into branches, so they can form better foliage branches and flowers in the same year.
