1, adjust the tree.
Prune apricot trees in time and adjust the tree shape. When the trunk is 40-50 cm high, leave three main branches at the base, and after each main branch branches out 4-6 secondary main branches, cut off all the redundant branches and side branches.
Step 2 cut off branches
When apricot trees enter the growing period, the extended branches of the main side branches should be cut off in time. For plants with strong growth, light cutting is the main method, and plants with weak growth are re-cut. The length of the short branch is 65438+ 0/3-2/5 of the branch.
Step 3 prune the fruit branches
During the fruiting period of apricot trees, if the branches are allowed to grow freely, the tree shape will be disrupted. At this time, it is necessary to cut off the disorderly fruit branches and change the extension direction of the fruit branches.
4. Dense branches
In the early pregnancy of apricot fruit, there will be many long branches and dense branches, which should be thinned immediately after discovery, and the branches with more fruits and vigorous growth can be kept.
Methods and skills of apricot planting;
1, garden selection
Apricot trees like light, are drought-tolerant and waterlogged-tolerant, and bloom earlier. Gardens should be selected in places with leeward, sunny, high terrain, good drainage, deep soil layer and not easy to frost, such as the middle and upper part of sunny slope or semi-sunny slope or the top of the mountain, to avoid building gardens in basins and valleys, and to establish a shelter forest system.
Generally, the planting spacing is 4m× (4 ~ 5) m in barren mountainous areas, 5m× (5 ~ 6) m in mountainous areas with fertile soil or sandy land with poor soil, and (5 ~ 6) m× (6 ~ 8) m in fertile flat land.
2. Seedling raising and field planting
Seedlings can be cultivated by sowing and grafting. It is best to sow in spring or autumn, and adopt the method of ditching to ensure the row spacing and plant spacing, not too close. When grafting seedlings, the requirements for scions are very strict, and annual and completely lignified branches must be used. When seedlings can be planted, healthy and robust seedlings should be selected, and seedlings can be planted after soaking in cold water for 24 hours.
