Pruning of mandarins:

1. Pruning of young trees

Generally speaking, the round head type is the best crown of mandarin fruit trees. For the pruning of young trees, the work of thinning and fixing shoots should be carried out at the right time, that is, 2-3 new shoots should be retained for sturdy branches, but only 1 for weak branches. When the new shoots grow to about 20cm, they should be picked out in time, so as to shorten the shoot cycle and promote the new shoots to turn green quickly, so as to lay the foundation for the formation of an ideal crown.

two。 Pruning of hanging fruit trees

The main work is to cut off dead branches, diseased branches, inner cross branches and branches with poor fruit hanging ability, and so on. In addition, about 15 days before the autumn shoot of fruit trees, strong autumn shoots can be cultivated by pruning. The specific measures are as follows: the fallen fruit branches, sweeping branches and declining branches in the middle and upper part of the crown should be cut off in a short way, and the branches that bear too much fruit, bear diseased fruit and the fruit is too small should also be cut off in time.

Gong mandarin is a unique local excellent variety of citrus in China, which is suitable for places with warm climate, sufficient rainfall and long sunshine.
