The method of planting jujube trees in summer

The traditional jujube garden management is relatively extensive, generally does not carry on the summer pruning, thus causes the tree shape disorder, the backbone branch angle is small, although the tree body is tall, but the ventilation and light transmission is poor, the yield is low.

Jujube summer shearing is not only beneficial to ventilation and light transmission, but also can adjust tree nutrition, improve fruit setting rate and improve the quality of fresh jujube.

When to cut jujube trees in summer should be carried out when the growth of jujube heads is slow, usually in the first and middle of June. Early secondary branches and jujube stocks are easy to germinate new branches to affect fruit setting, too late, excessive vegetative growth will consume tree nutrition. The south is not conducive to secondary fruit.

How to cut jujube trees in summer should be based on branch thinning, and branch thinning should be combined with short cutting. Jujube pruning should grasp the following principles: "lengthen backbone branches, cut short weak branches, cultivate strong branches, and make use of overgrown branches".

Thinning branches to remove bad branches and crowded new shoots and growing branches in the inner chamber. A new jujube can be left every 50 centimeters, and the group of fruiting branches is beneficial to hanging fruit for the second time.

Long release will renew, retract and cut the new shoots under the cutting mouth of bone trunk branches, and choose the new jujube heads with good direction and strong growth without pruning, so that they can be cultivated into main branches to extend branches and lateral branches, expand the crown and add more fruiting parts.

Sprouts sprout useless buds on the trunk and backbone branches.

Heart-picking refers to cutting off the buds at the top of the jujube head to control its growth, promote secondary branches and increase the number of jujube strands. The degree of coring can be determined according to the direction of the branch. Those with large space can retain 5-6 secondary branches, and those with small space can retain 3-4 secondary branches, so as to increase the group of branches bearing fruit in the inner chamber, and even create conditions for secondary fruit in the same year.

The use of long branches on the partial crown tree, lack of branches or have room for growth, the inner chamber can be pulled out of the long branches to fill the space and expand the fruiting part.
