The effect of sugar orange pruning

Pruning sugar orange saplings can build a strong skeleton, accelerate the formation of the crown, and advance the fruiting time. Plastic pruning is one of the main techniques for high and stable yields. one.

Sugar orange pruning time

Sugar orange is generally pruned twice, once in winter and once in summer, which can make the sugar orange grow faster and bear fruit faster.

Sugar oranges are generally pruned in summer to thin out some of the outer branches to increase ventilation and light transmittance and stimulate the germination of hidden buds on the branches.

Pruning method of sugar orange

1. Strong tree

If the sugar orange grows vigorously, it will have strong branching ability. After the fruiting, the branches will easily droop. If it is not pruned properly, it will As a result, the upper part grows vigorously but the lower part grows poorly. The method of combining thinning and shortening, appropriate retraction, and increasing the accumulation of inner branches should be adopted.

2. Trees with average growth potential

This type of tree has average growth potential, with fewer weak and strong branches. You can lightly thin out the one- and two-year-old branches, and shorten the weak branches appropriately. , retract the upper branches and cultivate the inner branches.

3. Weak trees

Sugar oranges do not grow well, have many weak branches, and have weak branching ability. New shoots are easily drawn from the inside and weak from the outer branches. Adopt a combination of thinning and shortening, and appropriate heavy pruning, mainly to renew the branch order, and shorten the weak branches around the crown. The upper layer of the shade branches under the upper cover should be shortened, and the weak branches at the top should be retracted and pressed down to allow new ones to sprout. Tips, cultivate strong branches inside.

4. Big-year fruiting trees

Big-year fruiting trees have many flower branches and fruit branches and few vegetative branches. In order to ensure a certain amount of flowers in the following year, you can lightly prune them and only prune them. Remove dry, dense, weak, old and diseased branches, and properly retain vegetative branches and vigorously growing branches with fallen flowers and fruits (more than 3 leaves). Some of these branches can bloom and bear fruit in the next year, and weak branches should be shortened. , retraction update.

Precautions for pruning sugar oranges

When pruning sugar oranges, you need to cooperate with fertilizer and water management and pest control. Spray the sugar oranges before they bloom, during the young fruit stage, and during the fruit expansion stage. Guozhuangdiling meets the physiological needs of fruit development, can produce faster results, is non-toxic, safe and hygienic, and has no side effects.
