Pruning method of kiwifruit

1, determine the number of branches.

When selecting and pruning the reserved fruiting mother branches of kiwifruit, the number of branches should be determined according to the overall tree potential and planting density of kiwifruit. Kiwifruit with large tree potential, suitable spacing and no shade results in about 30 mother branches on the left and right sides, and 0/5 branches on both sides according to the branching situation.

2. Selection and retention of fruiting mother branches

Generally speaking, the flowering quality and fruit-setting rate are not high when branches are picked in a leafy year, and moderate branches are the best, with better flowering differentiation quality and fruit-setting rate. At this time, it is necessary to cut off the strong branches and weak branches. It should be noted here that it depends on the overall number of branches of kiwifruit. If there are not many branches, we should choose some strong and weak branches to fill the vacancy.

3. Reduce pests and diseases

Summer pruning is mainly based on pinching tips. It was found that the newly sprouted branches of kiwifruit were too long. If it is reserved for next year's fruiting branches, only the slightly pointed part at the front end can be cut off, and other branches can be appropriately cut long. Because summer is in hot and humid weather, pruning should be done as much as possible to make its branches and leaves ventilated and light-permeable, so as to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Pruning time of kiwifruit

Pruning time in winter: Generally, kiwifruit leaves naturally after fruit picking and before the Lunar New Year. The approximate time is 65438+mid-February to early February of the following year; Summer cooking time: Generally, after the kiwifruit begins to swell, it is also the flourishing period of kiwifruit bearing branches. The approximate time is from mid-May to early July.

Kiwi or Kiwi?

Kiwi, also known as kiwi fruit, is a fruit rich in amino acids and minerals. Because macaques like to eat, they are named kiwifruit, and some people say that they are named because their skin is covered with hair and looks like macaques. Originally from China, it was introduced to New Zealand in the early 20th century. Kiwifruit is generally oval, with a green-brown appearance in the early stage and a reddish-brown appearance after maturity, and the epidermis is covered with dense fluff.
