Crabapple 1 shaping and pruning method

When pruning the fruit of begonia, it will start from infancy. Cut off too high main branches to make them grow more side branches, then repeat the operation on too long side branches and stretch the branches at corresponding angles, so that the fruit of begonia can have a fluffy and lush crown shape.

2. Thinning in flower and fruit period

During the flowering and fruiting period, it is also necessary to prune the fruits of Begonia, mainly pruning the branches with dense overlapping in the crown to make room for the growth of flowers and fruits, increase the light area, and appropriately prune some weak flowers and fruits to ensure the nutritional supply of the remaining flowers and fruits and improve the fruit quality.

3. Pruning after fruit

After the flowering crabapple bears fruit, a thorough pruning work should be carried out, and all useless and complicated branches such as overlapping branches, cross branches, old branches and over-branches on the crown of the plant should be cut off, and healthy branches should be cut off appropriately to ensure the smooth growth and development of the plant in the coming year.

4, pruning pests and diseases

There is no fixed pruning time for branches damaged by diseases and insect pests. As long as branches with pests and diseases are found on plants, they should be pruned in time, all infected insects and adjacent branches should be pruned to avoid the spread of germs and pests, and chemical agents should be sprayed in time for disinfection and sterilization to kill residual germs and eggs.
