Pruning has become a necessary procedure in the process of lemon planting, including core removal, branch thinning, shortening, retraction, bud wiping, tip twisting, main branch sawing and root cutting. Then, in actual operation, the specific operation is as follows:
Prune when just hanging fruit.
At this time, pruning is mainly to control the density of branches and leaves, and continue to control the number of secondary branches, which should be more but not interfere with each other. It is suggested to control the growth direction of branches by hanging. Pay attention to keep the crown round during pruning.
Pruning at full fruit stage
Try to keep the branches and fruits growing evenly. Prune the branches that can grow fruit in order to avoid the situation of off-year First, according to the fruit-bearing situation, remove the redundant shoots; Second, trim off the "windows" in some parts to make the interior of the fruit tree less closed; Third, trim the places where there are too many intersections.
Pruning of fruit trees in recession
Pruning during the decline period of fruit trees, that is, pruning when the yield of fruit trees declines, can ensure to maintain a certain yield. The specific operation is to cut off those branches that are particularly weak. For branches that still have the ability to bear fruit, cut off some side branches except the top main branch. At the same time, promote the development of new branches and combine fertilization and rooting. This can improve the yield.
Well, this is my personal opinion on how to prune lemon trees. What do you think of this problem?
