Persimmon is a common fruit in our life, and its planting area in China is also relatively large. Pay attention to management when planting persimmon trees. Pruning is very important in management, including summer pruning and winter pruning. Scissors in summer need our attention. So how should persimmon trees be pruned in summer? The following small series will bring you the method of pruning persimmon trees in summer. Let's have a look!

Pinch bud

For young persimmon trees that have been planted, the main method of pruning in summer is to wipe buds. After the new buds germinate, the new buds under the plastic branches should be pulled out in time. For big trees, the buds produced at the bifurcation of big branches, the stump after thinning and the buds at the bend of thick branches can be properly preserved, and the rest buds should be pulled out in time. In addition, after the branches retract, many new buds will sprout near some saws. Two sprouts can be properly kept in this position, and the rest should be wiped off.

Pinch a branch

When persimmon trees are pruned in summer, the method of pinching branches is generally adopted. For some valuable branches and developing branches on young trees, when they grow to about 35 cm, they should be properly pinched to control the growth of branches. Make it sprout secondary branches as soon as possible and grow into fruiting mother branches. For some regenerated branches and new shoots produced by high grafting, appropriate parts should be selected for coring. Let it germinate twice and three times, and then cultivate it into backbone cells. For young trees with vigorous growth, the extension branches of the trunk and main side branches can be left for pinching and cutting for about 40cm to increase the number of branches and promote the formation of crown.

Pull out branches

Persimmon trees have strong growth ability, so the branches are generally upright. If left untreated, the crown volume of persimmon trees will be closed, which will affect the overall image and yield of persimmon trees. Therefore, pruning should be combined with the shaping of young trees and grafted trees. In addition, the crown structure and branch growth direction have also been improved. Before the new buds are lignified, the branches should be pulled out at an ideal angle and direction.

ring

Young persimmon trees and persimmon trees with vigorous growth but few flowers are suitable for girdling. Girdling can be carried out at the early flowering stage to improve the fruit setting rate of persimmon trees and reduce physiological fruit drop. Circumcision is to cut the trunk or around the trunk twice with a knife. If it is a fruit tree or a large fruit branch group, the intensity of ring cutting can be appropriately increased according to the actual situation. Be sure to reach the xylem, but be careful not to damage the mother branch, and the adjacent ring cuts can be kept at about 4cm.
