Pruning effect of seabuckthorn

Pruning can balance the tree potential, improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions inside the plant, cultivate a large, stable and complete tree, and increase the yield.

Pruning time of seabuckthorn tree

The best pruning time of seabuckthorn trees is in the dormant period of winter. If it is in the northeast, it will be pruned once a year around March. Pruning and propagation of seabuckthorn trees are generally carried out in March-April in spring.

Pruning method of seabuckthorn tree

Seabuckthorn can be made into two shapes in the tender stage. One is to make it appear in the shape of a shrub without a trunk to promote the germination of lateral branches. Cut off some dead branches, dead branches, and those branches that affect the growth of seabuckthorn, and remove them while keeping the original shape as much as possible. The second is to trim the seabuckthorn into a trunk shape, mainly by cutting off the side branches and retaining the thick main branches. This kind of modeling is mainly carried out on barren land. Leaving the main branches in poor soil can make seabuckthorn grow well and improve its vitality. Mature seabuckthorn trees have the ability to grow independently, so there is no big requirement for pruning period. Pruning mainly cuts off long branches, drooping branches and dead branches. At this time, the purpose of pruning is to stabilize the crown, and the shape can be determined according to your own preferences. It can be mainly tree trunks, shrubs or other floating branches and so on.

Matters needing attention in pruning seabuckthorn trees

In order to make seabuckthorn grow vigorously and produce high yield every year through pruning, full consideration should be given in the process of pruning and shaping to achieve high and stable yield every year. In the case of fertile soil, flat terrain and good drainage, it is necessary to cultivate the big crown tree with less pruning and light cutting, and give full play to the characteristics of good tree shape, fast growth and many fruits. In places with arid climate and poor soil, Hippophae rhamnoides grows slowly and has a small tree shape, so it is necessary to adopt a small crown or shrub tree shape. Proper heavy pruning and reasonable pruning can enhance the tree potential.
