First, trim the young trees.
1. Pruning time: loquat trees with young age 1-2 years do not need pruning during the plastic period. At this time, loquat trees are producing a large number of branches, but pruning is not conducive to the growth of loquat trees. If you want to prune, you can choose to prune after the new shoots stop growing every year, about July, which has little effect on loquat trees and can promote the later growth and development. 2. Pruning method: Prune loquat trees. Thinning the overgrown branches first, and removing some crossed branches and overlapping branches can also increase the light transmittance and make the branches fully exposed to light. Twisting branches from trunk and flattening side branches can promote flower bud differentiation.
Second, pruning of adult trees.
1. Pruning time: Pruning of adult trees is mainly divided into two periods, one is from February to March in spring, and the other is after fruit harvesting in summer. 2. Pruning method: cut the old branches short to promote the growth of new branches, and cut off the overgrown branches, which need to be completely removed from the base. There are dense branches and twigs, which can eliminate pests and diseases and promote the germination of new buds. Generally, the fruiting branches and fruiting branches are not pruned, but some weak branches should be removed.
