Hello! After pruning in the first year, cut the seedlings at 70 cm after planting. If the height is not high enough, it will be cut short when it is full of buds. In summer, three new shoots with an angle of 120 degrees should be selected as the main branches in time. The three new shoots should not be adjacent, and the total spacing should be as large as possible, at least 15cm. Adjust the horizontal angle, vertical angle and growth potential of the three main branches by pulling branches. In order to eliminate the competitive branches on the trunk that affect the growth of the main branch, a small number of auxiliary branches must be obviously lower, smaller and weaker than the main branch. Timely thinning and controlling the secondary branches on the main branches that affect the growth of the main branches.

When pruning in winter, if the main branch length is more than 60 cm, the whole bud should be cut off at 60 cm, and if the main branch length is less than 60 cm, the whole bud should be cut off. A tree with three main branches has been selected, leaving no trunk extension branches. If only two main branches are selected, the extended branches of the main branches will be kept for selecting the third main branch in the next year. 2-3 branches outside the main branch are slowly released to support the tree, and the rest are thinned. Slow-release branches are controlled by pulling branches and twisting tips.
