Short-cut pruning method is mostly used for pruning young branches in early years or two years. The pruning method is mainly to cut off some new branches of young trees properly, so as to stimulate the sprouting and branching of new buds near the cutting opening, so as to increase the branch density, promote growth and regeneration, and narrow and optimize the crown. The trunk of a tree is erect, with high branches, many main branches, strong verticality, tall plants, and late fruit. It naturally grows to form an oval crown, and the height of the tree is >: crown, such as the white-flowered awn and the ivory awn in Thailand.

Because mango trees grow very fast, the tree structure is prone to problems during the growth process, mainly because there are too many main branches connecting the trunk, and the main branches in the center of the tree are not open enough, which has strong growth potential. If it is not pruned in time and allowed to grow, it will lead to various problems such as slow crown formation, many pests and diseases, poor fruit quality and low yield.

After extracting the main branches, select 3-5 branches with good growth potential and moderate position at 50-70cm, and remove the rest. For those with large growth potential difference or inappropriate position, manual branch pulling, branch pressing or traction can be used for correction. The angle between the main branch and the trunk is preferably kept at 50-70 degrees. Good ventilation and light transmission are beneficial to early fruiting and high and stable yield. Generally speaking, shaping is to arrange young trees in an ideal shape from planting to flowering and fruiting. Pruning refers to pruning branches on the basis of shaping, maintaining the reasonable structure of the crown and controlling the tree body.

Autumn pruning of mango is usually carried out after fruit picking, so it is also called post-harvest pruning. This pruning can promote the appearance of autumn shoots. After fruit picking, it is required to cultivate at least two autumn shoots, and the last autumn shoot shall not be later than the beginning of 165438+ 10. Therefore, autumn pruning should be completed in late August and early September. For those pests and diseases, too dense branches, overlapping branches, etc. The crown should be drained, and the branches that have failed due to years of fruiting and excessive branches should be cut off together to ensure that the crown of mango trees can return to normal state and grow better.
