Pruning method of Myrica rubra in winter
Pruning in winter is an important link in one-year management of Yangmei. Prune branches comprehensively. First, check the pests, dead branches and weak branches of the whole tree, and cut off all these branches. Leaving them on the tree will make a lot of nutrients lose and affect the normal growth of Myrica rubra. Pruning these branches is conducive to the growth of new branches next spring.
After removing those useless branches, the whole tree should be dredged. After a year's growth, the branches and leaves of Myrica rubra will grow very densely. At this time, it is necessary to dredge and trim the main branches and crown of Myrica rubra in time to maintain the water permeability of the whole plant. Only some big branches of the trunk can be left, and other branchlets can be cut off.
In order to make Myrica rubra grow smoothly in the next spring, it is necessary to trim the branches in place and cut off some branches that affect the normal growth of Myrica rubra, such as cross branches, dense branches, overlapping branches and ground branches. After pruning in winter, another important step is fertilization to provide sufficient nutrients for Myrica rubra plants and increase their yield in spring.
