The pruning method of the latest grapefruit tree

Pomelo trees are widely distributed in southern China, usually growing in hilly areas. The fruit of grapefruit tree is also loved by many people because of its high nutritional value and good taste. When planting grapefruit trees, we need to do a good job of pruning. Reasonable pruning is very beneficial to the yield and fruit quality of grapefruit trees. So how should grapefruit trees be pruned? The following small series brings you the pruning method of grapefruit tree. Let's take a look at it together!

1. Pruning young trees

After planting the grapefruit saplings, we will cut them at about 35 cm from the joint. When grapefruit tree shoots, and then choose to stay about three strong growth, evenly distributed and spaced between the new shoots as the main branch, the excess will be erased. When the top of the main branch grows to about 40cm, do a good job of topping. And then in the main branch on the election left and right about 3 strong branches of the main branch. A certain distance should be reserved between the main branch and the auxiliary main branch to ensure that the branch can receive sufficient light. Then, some overlapping branches and buds that disturb the tree should also be removed in time.

2. Pruning during fruiting period

Grapefruit trees in the fruit, the general bore branch fruit force is relatively strong. Therefore, for the first fruit tree, pruning should be light and not heavy. Usually only some growth positions should not be too long branches and pest branches can be cut off, retain more bore branches, not to the fruit mother branch pruning. For adult trees, because the crown is basically formed, the main pruning objects are the branches on the trunk and other branches. This pruning is mainly to ensure that the grapefruit tree growth and fruit can be balanced. For strong trees, it is necessary to properly cut them, reduce short cuts, thin out some branches that grow too long and too dense, retain some drooping branches, and increase the number of fruits and flowers of fruit trees. Then grow weaker trees, to go weak to stay strong for the pruning principle, retain more leaves and fruit branches.

3. Pruning during senescence

When grapefruit trees begin to enter the senescence period, they should be carried out before and after spring shoot growth and in May and June. For old tree pruning, to be based on bare pruning, in the renewal of branches, retain the right amount of main branches and auxiliary main branches. For the crown of 4 years of endogenous branches to cut off all its leaves can not be retained on the crown to ensure the growth of strong shoots. Then, after the bud regeneration, do a good job of bud control. About two years later, a new canopy can form and bear fruit again. Finally, for some decaying branches that still have the ability to bear fruit, they can be replaced by rotation and all of them will be renewed within three years.

The above is a simple introduction to grapefruit tree pruning methods. When pruning grapefruit trees, we must pay attention to the reasonable adjustment of pruning methods according to the growth period of grapefruit trees to ensure the normal growth of grapefruit trees and improve permeability, so as to ensure the yield and quality of grapefruit trees.
