Why is the latest mulberry tree pruned?

Mulberry is still very common in our daily life. Mulberry not only has a high edible value, but also has certain efficacy. When we plant mulberries, management is very important. Especially mulberry tree pruning, reasonable pruning of mulberry tree yield and fruit quality are very beneficial. However, there are still many people who don't know why mulberry planting should be pruned. Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian below!

1. Balance tree potential

When the mulberry trees are young, we can begin the pruning work. Through annual pruning, mulberry trees can slowly grow strong branches, ensure uniform distribution of branches and small difference in thickness, and improve the quality of backbone skeleton. Within one or two years after planting, pruning techniques such as picking and cutting short are adopted to accelerate the growth speed of branches and promote the early formation of tree crowns. And then using retraction, thinning and other methods, culture the appropriate density of fruit mother branches. Ensure the balance of tree growth and lay the foundation for high yield in the later stage of fruit trees.

2. Enhance permeability

Mulberry trees can be constructed to create a good crown to ensure that the branches in the crown are reasonably distributed and the leaves are evenly distributed. The main construction object is to grow too dense, too long, weak growth and drooping branches and so on. Ensure that the inner bore branches can also receive light evenly, which can not only improve the quality of mulberry fruit, but also expand the light receiving area of leaves, improve photosynthesis and reduce useless leaves on mulberry trees. It also provides sufficient nutrition for mulberry tree growth, flower bud differentiation and so on, and improves planting benefit.

3. Reduce nutrient consumption

Proper pruning can prevent excessive consumption of nutrients, resulting in increased planting costs. When pruning, mainly to thin out some dense branches, and branches on too many inflorescences. Also cut off some branches that grow too long to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients. Concentrate nutrition on branches with strong bearing ability, provide sufficient nutrition for branches to bear fruit, and improve the utilization rate of fertilizer nutrients.

4. Coordinating growth contradictions

Pruning can also effectively coordinate the growth of mulberry trees contradictions. When pruning, we should fully understand the growth characteristics and age of mulberry trees. If it is intensive and dense planting, then it should be properly summer cut every year, and it should be fixed in time after summer cutting. Naturally, winter pruning should not be less. Ensure that the mulberry tree can be provided with suitable fruit bearing mother branches and leaf and fruit ratio every year. Avoid mulberry tree big or small year phenomenon, stable and comfortable, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging mulberry tree full fruit period.

The above is a simple introduction to why mulberry trees should be pruned. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to help everyone oh!
