How to re-cut the latest apple trees before blossoming? A course on the techniques and methods of pre-flowering re-cutting of Apple trees

Apple is a kind of fruit we often eat. When planting apple trees, we should do a good job of pruning. Ensure the normal growth of apple trees and improve the fruit rate of apple trees. If the apple tree is re-pruned before blooming, it is mainly to supplement the winter shearing, in order to adjust the ratio of the growth structure of the apple tree to the flower bud. So how should the apple tree be pruned before it blossoms? The following editor brings you the pre-flowering re-pruning technology of apple trees. Let's have a look!

1. Re-cutting time

When re-pruning apple trees before blossoming, we must first determine the re-pruning time of apple trees. The time of re-pruning should be in the period from sprouting of apple tree branches to before flowering. Re-cutting time is very important, we must pay attention to good control, not too early and too late. If the flower and leaf buds are pruned prematurely, it is difficult to distinguish them, and it is more difficult to prune them. If the pruning is too late, the nutritional storage in the apple tree is relatively large, and re-pruning will have a great impact on the tree potential, so we must pay more attention to it.

2. Complex shearing method

First of all, we have to cut the plants that grow too dense on the outside of the apple tree, and the branches that are too strong and too weak should not be retained. Keep apple trees in a state of abundance but not density, shape but not prosperity, control the load of apple trees and improve permeability. Then some fruit branches and auxiliary branches left by mistake should be pruned and retracted so as to cultivate them into reserve branches. For the missed auxiliary branches, if they do not blossom, then we should properly remove them from the base according to the surrounding space, and at the same time improve the lighting conditions of apple trees.

Then for some reserved over-long branches, it is necessary to weaken the growth advantage at the top of the branches and avoid excessive growth of the branches. It can also be twisted at the base of the branch to ease the growth of the branch and promote the growth of flower buds. Young trees should self-seal the top branches to promote the sending of short branches and cultivate them into branch groups. under normal circumstances, medium and short branches will be formed in the same year. If the fruit platform branch is a flower, then it is mainly to stay strong, if there is no flower, then it should be retracted and broken, and if it grows too vigorously, it should be cut short where the hidden bud is at the base of the branch.

Finally, for branches that have borne fruit for many years in a row, they should be retracted to the place of short branches and strong buds in the middle and back to promote renewal. If there are weak short fruit branches, then the weak buds should be removed and the strong buds should be retained to promote renewal. The terminal buds of all the middle and long branches in the big year fruit tree should be removed. The weak branches and flowers should also be removed to improve the nutrition level of the tree and avoid consuming too much nutrition.

The above is a brief introduction to the pre-flowering re-pruning technique of apple trees. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
