Young loquat trees only need to keep about 2 lateral branches on each branch. After flowering, the petals that have not fallen off will be trimmed. If the branches cross, they will be pruned together. After picking, the unproductive branches will be shortened by 10 cm, and the diseased branches and dead branches will be pruned daily to avoid nutrient loss.

1, young tree pruning

Loquat trees can be pruned properly in the young fruit period, leaving only about 2 lateral branches per branch, and pruning all the redundant branches. There should be a certain growth space between these two branches, and an equal space distance can be left, and the pruning degree of each branch is the same.

2. Prune after flowering

How to prune loquat trees after flowering? Trim the flowers that have not fallen. If there are cross branches, cut off one of them, otherwise it will hinder the growth of loquat branches. If the branches on the branches are too long, they need to be trimmed from the base to ensure the overall unity of the tree and cultivate the growth of the mother branches.

3. Pruning after fruit

Loquat fruit needs pruning again after picking, and all the unfruitful branches need to be shortened by 10 cm. Pruning the crown can also avoid the loss of nutrients. Generally, it is not necessary to prune the fruiting mother branch or fruiting branch. If the branches are too thin, they can be cut off from the roots.

Step 4 prune every day

Daily pruning is mainly aimed at some residual branches, diseased branches and too dense branches. Check the branches frequently. If these situations occur, pruning should be done in time, which not only improves the light transmittance and ventilation capacity of the crown, but also promotes the robust growth of branches and increases the number of pregnant buds.
