In fact, most loquat trees have been dwarfed. Dwarfing and pruning the loquat crown is not only beneficial to reducing the fruiting parts, reducing the fruiting branches, thickening the leaf curtain layer, and improving the effective volume and effective photosynthesis area of the tree. Moreover, dwarfing the crown is conducive to manual operation, which can improve daily management benefits, reduce labor costs, improve the wind resistance of trees, and realize early fruit and multiple fruits, full, high quality and high sweetness. Not only that, we also need to prune in time to ensure the subsequent harvest. Many fruit farmers know that it is best to prune fruit trees in winter, but why can't loquat trees be pruned in winter?
Loquat trees bear fruit early, which can't be generalized with ordinary fruit trees and need to be pruned away from winter. Because loquat trees bloom in winter and will have a bumper harvest in April next year, they can't be pruned in winter. Pruning at this time will not only consume the nutrients of fruit trees, but also affect the harvest.
Fruit farmers all know this law. Spring pruning is to promote the development of strong spring shoots and rapidly expand the crown. Summer pruning is to promote the early emergence of summer shoots and cultivate new fruiting branches; Pruning in autumn is to adjust the ratio of fruiting branches to vegetative branches, solve the contradiction between reproductive growth and vegetative growth, promote the development of fruiting branches and improve the fruit setting rate. The simplest purpose of pruning in winter is to prepare for the next year's harvest, but the best pruning time of pipa is 9- 1 1 serving.
I think that although the pruning time has been determined, we should not be careless when pruning. The pruning process of fruit trees should be determined according to the age and tree structure of the orchard. Therefore, pruning in September-165438+ 10 should only be a simple pruning of some branches after picking, and the rest should wait until the flower buds are completely differentiated and begin to sprout. The pruning of loquat trees must be moderate, and it should be difficult to obtain a bumper harvest under scientific management.
