Mulberries are best pruned in spring or winter, because the growth rate of plants slows down at this time, and the damage to them is minimal after pruning. In summer, it is best to cut mulberry trees between June and September. At this time, the climate is suitable and the branches have strong germination ability, which can improve the survival rate. The cuttings are annual, the bottom is obliquely cut, the upper leaves are removed, soaked in root water, and then directly inserted obliquely into the soil for watering. It will take root and sprout in less than a month. 20 10-20 12, mulberry trees were pruned on a large scale in winter, and some branches and leaves that were not pruned in winter were mainly pruned in early spring. In early spring, the newly sprouted buds of mulberry trees can be erased to loosen the dense new buds, and the top buds of mulberry trees can also be removed to promote flower bud differentiation, control the overgrowth of branches and leaves and improve the fruit setting rate. Mulberry thinning and pruning is the most common pruning method, mainly pruning dense branches, old branches and diseased branches of mulberry to promote the growth of new branches and reduce nutrient consumption.

Mulberry pruning branches and leaves

The purpose of mulberry pruning is to increase the number of branches and realize fast growth and early yield. Picking the heart in time can make the branches and buds develop fully, increase the differentiation of flower buds, greatly improve the quality of flower buds and have a better fruit setting rate. The length of mulberry cutting depends on the variety and the length of branches. If the branches are short, the nodes are dense and the germination rate is high, the cutting tips are short, but the cutting tips are long.

Pruning skills of mulberry trees

After mulberry leaves grow naturally, cutting off branches can reduce the consumption of nutrients, enhance the cold resistance of plants, and improve the germination rate and fruit setting rate in the next spring.

Mulberry pruning results

Mulberry pruning, if adopted, has the function of rejuvenation and renewal, and is mostly used for the renewal of backbone branches. When shrinking, the weak shoots remain on the pruning, which is very large and will play an inhibitory role.
