After several months of growth and development, pear trees will grow many new branches, long branches, branches damaged by pests and diseases, dead branches and so on. And many branches cross each other, which makes the pear trees too dense and weakens the effect of ventilation and light transmission.
So by shaping the trees, cut off these branches reasonably. Through reasonable pruning and shaping of pear trees, the appearance of pear trees is more beautiful, the ventilation and light transmission effect is enhanced, the loss of nutrients is reduced, and some pests and diseases are avoided. Let pear trees grow healthily and sturdily, so as to achieve the effect of picking more fruits.
Pruning time of pear tree
Pruning of pear trees can be divided into dormancy pruning and growth pruning according to pruning time. Pruning in dormant period can be carried out from the time when pear trees fall to the time when pear leaves germinate in the next year, and pruning in growing season can be carried out from the time when pear trees germinate to the time when pear leaves fall.
Pruning method of pear tree
Mainly plastic, the fixed stem height is generally cut short at 50cm ~ 80cm from the ground. The first bud left under the incision requires that the bud body is full and strong to form the central trunk. In the lower plastic band, 5 ~ 7 full buds are required, and 3 ~ 4 branches are selected as main branches. The branch angles of the four main branches form an included angle of 90 degrees with each other. The extension head of the central trunk should be lightly cut, and the direction of the first layer of main branches should be reversed.
