Peach tree is a small deciduous tree. In the process of peach tree growth management, poor management can easily lead to crazy growth, or even only blossom without fruit. Today, let's talk about a very important item in peach tree management-pruning skills!

1, Xiaoshu

First of all, we must choose three branches with the same orientation and the same growth as the main branch. Generally, the length of the extension tip is 50 ~ 60 cm, and the secondary tip that has been cored in summer can be shorter. If the directions of the three branches are asymmetric, the method of pulling branches can be adopted to ensure the reasonable distribution of branches; The angle of the base of the big branch is 50 ~ 60 degrees. If it is too big or too small, pull or brace it. The remaining branchlets can be appropriately longer and kept; Branches that are competitive with the three branches should be eliminated.

The key to prolonging the extension branch is to choose to leave good side branches and leave good side branches on each big branch; The three lateral branches should be selected in the same direction; It is suitable to leave branches about 40 ~ 50 cm above the base of big branches; The angle is larger than the main branch, and the growth is smaller than the main branch; The direction is biased to one side of anticline, which can not meet the requirements of artificial branching; The rest of the fruiting branches, less or no back, more other parts; Other big branches that may affect the tree potential must be thinned; Ensure the growth advantages of the three main branches and side branches.

3, four-year-old peach trees

It has entered the fruiting period, and the extension tip can be extended by small head change; Properly control the top advantage; And focus on cultivating the second lateral branch, which is 60 ~ 80 cm away from the first lateral branch and should be selected in the opposite direction to the first lateral branch; At this point, a peach tree with three main branches and nine heads is basically a foregone conclusion.

4. Adult trees

In case of vigorous growth, the branches should be extended by slightly changing their heads. First, it is beneficial to control the height of peach trees not to exceed1.8 ~ 2.0m; The second is to control the advantages of the top, ensure the reasonable germination of the middle and lower branches, and prevent the middle and lower branches from falling off; Secondly, strictly control the growth of branches in the middle and upper back to prevent "trees among trees" from affecting lighting; The upper dorsal branch is basically thinner; Attention should be paid to the use of redundant branches in the middle to cultivate branches. The methods are crawling, pulling, twisting and shrinking.

5. Old and weak trees

Pay attention to the pruning method of rejuvenation and renewal, and adopt the principle of cutting more and thinning less. Generally, 8 ~ 10 buds are left on elongated branches and long fruit branches; Leave 4 ~ 6 buds in the middle fruit branch; Leave 2 ~ 3 buds on short fruit branches and twigs; Take back the slender branches that have been laid for a long time the year before. Less branches and more beginnings are conducive to the rejuvenation of trees. (Text/Planting Question and Answer Network Diagram/Network Synthesis)
