If you want orange trees to produce more oranges, you should prune and top them in time during the growth period, remove redundant buds and promote the germination of more new branches. Pruning is also divided into the following five stages:

1, pruning in growth period

Orange trees should be pruned in time at the growth stage. If young trees are cultivated, they should be topped and topped in time to control the height. It is also necessary to prune branches that grow too long and too high, ensure proper height, pick off redundant buds, and promote the germination of more new branches and buds.

2. Pruning at flowering stage

Citrus reticulata should also be pruned at flowering stage, mainly pruning the buds that are too dense, so that the buds in citrus reticulata can't be too dense, otherwise it won't absorb enough nutrients, and thus it can't blossom and bear fruit better.

3. Pruning in fruiting period

Orange trees should be pruned in time during the fruit-bearing period, mainly to cut off the unfruitful branches, so as not to absorb too much nutrients, resulting in insufficient nutrition of the fruit and unable to grow healthily. When pruning, you should also cut off the branches above the top, which can promote better ventilation and light transmission and thus better growth.

4. Pruning in aging period

When the orange tree enters the aging period, it should be retracted and pruned in time, and all branches on it should be cut off, so as to replace new branches and prevent the orange tree from aging. In addition, the weak branches should be pruned in time to keep them in a good growth state.

5. Dressing and shaping

Orange trees should also be pruned. Branches that grow too long should be cut short in time, and branches that are too dense should be drained in time to keep beautiful.
