Kiwifruit has four development stages in its life, namely bud stage, early fruiting stage, fruiting stage and senescence stage. Usually, the bud period is 1 ~ 4 years, the initial flowering period is 2 ~ 3 years, the fruiting period is 15 ~ 35 years, and the senescence period is 5 ~ 10 years. Pruning should take different plastic measures according to the growth and development habits of different ages. In winter, 3 to 4 whole buds will be pruned, and all other branches will be pruned, which will promote the growth of trunk and main vine next year. Planting trunk and vine to promote nutrient transportation.
After the second year, if the main vines are placed on the shelf, the length of the main vines extending along the center of the frame centerline should not be too long, otherwise the middle will be easily cut into 40? 50 cm; Other branches with moderate growth cut off complete buds, and twigs cut off 2 ~ 3 buds. If the height of the main vine does not reach the frame, it should still be trimmed until it is completely sprouted, and then new strong buds will be issued the next year to continue the introduction. Pay attention to eliminate the long branches that affect the growth of the main branches, and keep some dense branches appropriately, leaving 2? Three new shoots, cut and grow spare branches for next year. The pruning area should be high enough to avoid stimulating germination and long branch growth.
In winter, the thick stems are cut into complete buds, and the branchlets are cut into 2-3 buds. It takes three to four years to cover the whole frame with branches and vines. When logging in winter, equip the two sides of the main vine with a strong mother branch every 30 cm.
