1. Pruning time of peach trees in summer

Peach trees will bear fruit from June to September every year. Pruning them properly before flowering and fruiting can increase their fruit yield. Peach trees can be cored from June to July, and the extra buds and overgrown branches can be cut off.

The peach trees can be pruned for the second time in summer in August. At this time, it is mainly to prune the branches that grow too densely, and also to prune the thin and unattractive branches on the peach trees, so that the peach trees can absorb more nutrients and bear high-quality peaches. Don't hurt the healthy branches when pruning.

2. Methods of Pruning Peach Trees in Summer

When peach trees grow to 2cm, they should be cored. When coring, the seedlings at the top of the branches can be picked directly, and then picked again when buds grow at the coring place. When pruning long and thin branches, you can use oblique cutting method, cutting obliquely from the lower part of the branches to the upper part, so as not to infect the wound.

after pruning, potassium permanganate solution can be applied to the wound to sterilize the branches and promote the wound recovery. If it happens to be rainy during pruning, it is best to cover the branches from the rain, usually the wound will recover after one week, and then water and fertilize normally.
