The height of the hickory tree can reach 10 meter, and the bark is dark purple. The crown is fully developed; The leaves are ovate-lanceolate, and the leaf margin has fine sharp serrations; Petals obovate or suborbicular, pink; The fruit is nearly spherical and light yellow. The flowering period is from March to April, and the fruiting period is from July to August.
Peach has strong growth potential, short life span, strong ability of germination and branching, and is prone to secondary or tertiary branching. If it is not trimmed properly, it will lead to poor results. Therefore, happy trees without central stems are usually used for shaping or pruning.
1. Pruning of young trees: When pruning young trees, we should make full use of their characteristics of vigorous growth, strong budding ability, early buds forming multiple secondary branches on strong branches, and early flower buds, on the one hand, expanding the crown, on the other hand, cultivating strong backbone branches.
2. Pruning in full fruit stage: The main function of pruning in full fruit stage is to adjust the relationship between growth and fruit. The pruning method is to cut the middle and lower part of the tree body or fruiting branch group again, and leave 3-5 nodes or 1-2 nodes according to the strength of the branches, so as to promote the new shoots to form fruiting branches in the next year.
