Kumquat can be pruned three times a year, usually in spring and summer. Pruning the crown in the growth period, cutting off the fruit height below 250cm in the harvest period and shrinking in the senescence period can reduce nutrient consumption, rejuvenate and improve fruit yield and quality.

Pruning method of kumquat

1, seedling pruning

Kumquat needs constant pruning during its growth. When its seedlings grow to 30 cm, they need to be pruned properly, but don't prune them. Don't trim too much. Just cut off the long, weak and dead branches and let the seedlings grow new branches.

2. Pruning in growing season

After kumquat seedlings are formed, they need to be properly pruned every year. Every spring, kumquat should be properly combed. At this time, there will be many diseased and withered branches in the plant, which should be cut off immediately to concentrate the nutrients in the soil and provide better nutrients for the plant.

3, plastic buds.

Usually, kumquat also needs to be shaped and germinated. Whenever kumquat is not fully formed, it can be pruned and 4~5 lateral branches can be reserved. Moreover, after pruning in each growth period, it is necessary to prune the densely growing parts, which can increase their ornamental value and make them bear delicious fruits.

4. Preventive measures

Kumquat should be pruned in moderation every time, otherwise it will inhibit the normal growth of the plant. Don't water after each pruning, or the wound will rot easily. Carbendazim can be sprayed on the wound to prevent the wound from rotting.
