1 How to prune and bud cherry trees in summer
In the vigorous growth period of cherry trees, it is necessary to erase the strong branches and competitive buds near the main branches, cut off the branches with pests and diseases and the branches that grow too fast, cut off the double buds, and only keep the single bud, so as to reduce the useless new shoots and concentrate the nutrients on the left branches, and wiping the buds can also improve the lighting conditions of cherry trees.
Step 2 pull the branches
Pruning cherry trees in June, when the main branch is about 20 cm long, pull the newly grown branches to the horizontal position, which can prevent the fruiting parts from moving outward and increase the number of short branches, thus promoting the formation of flower buds.
3. Twisted branches
Twisting should be carried out when the new branches are semi-lignified. Twisting 180 degrees at the bottom of the new branches will break the branches too early or too late, so that the xylem will not break when twisting the branches, thus promoting the drooping or horizontal growth of the new branches.
Step 4 take it back
Retraction is mainly suitable for old trees. Pruning the perennial branches of cherry trees in summer can avoid excessive consumption of nutrients, promote the transformation of branches and make the main branches stronger.
