Generally speaking, pruning time can be selected in winter and this autumn. Winter is a good season for pruning, because in winter, apple trees will enter a dormant period and their natural growth will stop. Even with this growth, it is quite weak, so pruning at this time will not affect the fruit of this apple tree, nor will it affect its growth. Nature is the best time.
When pruning, we must look at which branches should be pruned, such as infected and fragile branches, then these branches should be cut off, some leaves are obviously yellow, and some are cut off in windy and rainy weather, then these branches should be cut off, and the apple tree can grow better after cutting off.
Pruning is really a technical job, and there are still some invalid branches to be dealt with. There is competition between people. In fact, there will be some competition between branches of fruit trees, especially those competing branches that are bifurcated and must be cut off. Of course, some of them are very dense, which affects ventilation and light transmission, so these should also be dealt with, otherwise it is easy to cause this kind of mosquito and this disease, so they should be cut off if they are too dense.
When pruning, we must disinfect the scissors we use. If there is bacterial infection, pruning will easily lead to this cross-infection, which will affect the growth of fruit trees and even cause diseases. We should pay attention to this.
