Plum trees can be pruned in summer and winter. If pruned in winter during the early fruiting period, it is best to shorten the inappropriate branches and leaves and cultivate single-axis extended branches and leaves. During the growth period of its branches and leaves, , it is necessary to use short cuts and prune them into shape to achieve higher yields; and in the aging period of the plum tree, its branches can withstand the cold winter, so it is best to prune more at this time.

When to prune plum trees

Plum trees can be pruned in summer and winter, because the plant grows slowly at this time, and pruning it will not cause too much damage to it. of harm.

When cutting plum trees, use a knife to sharpen the base of the cuttings. Use a stick to punch a hole in the cutting bed before inserting, and then insert it into the hole. The insertion depth is 5 to 8 cm, and the spacing between plants is 6~8 cm. Water immediately after cutting to maintain soil moisture.

Pruning branches and leaves of plum trees

1. Plum trees in the early fruiting period are mainly pruned in summer. If pruned in winter, it is best to tidy up the branches and leaves and shorten the unsuitable branches and leaves. , to cultivate single-axis extended branches and leaves.

2. During the growth period of the branches and leaves of the plum tree, it is necessary to use short cutting method, mainly pruning them into shape, which can make the yield of the plum tree higher.

3. The aging plum tree generally has a thick shell, and its branches can withstand the cold winter. It is best to prune more at this time.

Pruning the plum tree during the seedling stage is mainly to make the fruit tree form a better tree shape. A good tree shape can increase the yield of the fruit tree. In addition, after the fruit tree enters the fruiting stage, it requires a lot of nutrients and Sunlight, if there are no fruits on the tree, it needs to be pruned.

Pruning and blooming of plum trees

Plum trees grow very quickly in the early stages of flowering and tend to grow too many branches. If the branches are too dense, they will affect the flowering of the plant, so they must be immediately Pruning treatment, pruning must be done lightly, mainly to wipe out the newly growing buds.

Pruning results of plum trees

1. Young trees have just begun to bear fruit: Plum trees grow rapidly after germination. At this time, one long branch should be left every 30 cm on the main branch. When it is too dense, In order to make the plant more airy and transparent, some branches must be removed.

2. Fruiting period: The plum tree already has many fruiting branches during the fruiting period. Weak branches should be cut off to leave strong branches, and old branches should be cut off to leave new branches to stimulate better fruiting of the plant.

Precautions for pruning plum trees

Pruning of plum trees should be carried out on sunny or cloudy days, not on rainy days, and pruning requires a smooth saw cut and even application on most of the cuts. Healing agent for protective treatment.
