First, the pruning time of mango trees after picking

Mango postharvest pruning is pruning after the fruit is harvested in the same year, which can adjust the tree potential and increase the number of fruits in the next year.

The pruning time of mango after harvest should be controlled within 15 days after harvest. In the same orchard, all pruning needs to be completed within 2-3 days, so that the growth period is more consistent.

Pruning mango too early or too late after harvest is not conducive to the growth of mango trees. If the fruit is pruned immediately after harvesting, it will weaken the tree and affect the development of autumn shoots and flower bud differentiation. Pruning too much will lead to waste of nutrition.

Second, the pruning method of mango trees after picking

1, resulting in branch retraction.

The fruiting branches of one or two-year-old mango have the best quality and can be lightly cut. The three-year-old fruiting branches should be heavy and short, so that the branches can be retracted. On each bearing branch, you can keep three evenly distributed bearing branches, and then cut off the other bearing branches.

2. Control the crown height

The crown height of mango trees should be controlled within 2.5m, which is more convenient for harvesting and controlling tree potential. Re-cut the new branches in the upper part of the crown to inhibit their growth.

3, thinning branches

Sparse the cross branches, too dense branches, dead branches and insect branches on the inner room, so that the inner room is well lit but not empty.
