Strawberry pruning time
Strawberries need pruning when they grow, usually in summer. Some stolons usually grow at this time, and these connecting stems need to be cut off in time. In the case of seasonal strawberries, pedicels and some diseased leaves need to be cut off.
Pruned strawberries can not only avoid excessive consumption of nutrients, but also provide nutrients for other branches and leaves, which is also conducive to fruit. After pruning some branches and leaves, you can increase their light and let them photosynthesis normally.
Pruning method of strawberry
1, summer pruning
Strawberries usually bloom in spring and bear fruit in summer. After fruiting, they need pruning, and the part above the ground 10 cm needs pruning, so as to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients and provide nutrients for the branches and roots growing below.
Step 2 prune stolons
Strawberries will grow many stolons, which connect the plants on the ground horizontally, so they need to be cut off and grown on the mother plant to avoid the photosynthesis of these stems to produce sugar.
Step 3 trim pedicels
Strawberries need to be pruned when they enter the growing period, so be careful not to break the roots. If there are smaller flower clusters, they need to be pruned in time to avoid consuming photosynthetic products.
