Jujube needs pruning branches and leaves in the process of growth, which can improve the yield and quality of jujube, so how to prune jujube generally? Are there any special points to pay attention to when trimming? When is the best time to trim? What are the methods of pruning? The correct pruning method is very beneficial to the growth of jujube trees, so let's learn about it together.

1. Pruning time

Jujube pruning is generally divided into winter pruning and summer pruning, and sometimes supplementary pruning is carried out in spring. Winter pruning is usually carried out during the dormant period of jujube trees after falling leaves, but when it comes to specific pruning time, it is generally March and April and May and June. Winter pruning must be as early as possible, too late pruning will affect the growth of jujube trees; summer pruning should pay attention to time, early pruning will not achieve the role of regulating jujube fruit branches.

2. Pruning principle

The pruning principles of jujube trees need to be divided according to different periods of time, including laissez-faire pruning principle, young tree pruning principle, fruit tree pruning principle and aging tree pruning principle. The main purpose of laissez-faire tree is to set aside the main branches, clean up the messy branches, and make gradual improvement until a complete tree shape is formed. Young trees generally carry out fixed trunk shaping; fruiting trees are pruning, adjusting the distance between trunk, fruiting branches and the whole tree shape, and pruning overgrown branches, old branches, disease and insect branches, dense branches, etc.; aging jujube trees are to renew branches and leaves and cultivate new fruiting branches.

3. Pruning method

There are many methods of pruning jujube trees, according to different growth periods and different growth conditions, we use different pruning methods, so as to ensure the normal growth of jujube trees. Among them, the main pruning methods are branch thinning method, short cutting method, retraction pruning method, core pruning method, slow release method, bud carving method, branch pulling method, sprout wiping method, sprouting method, armour opening method and so on. We need to use the pruning method according to the specific situation, if the pruning method is not used properly, it will also have a great impact on the production of jujube trees.

4. Pruning jujube trees

During the early and young period of jujube, its growth rate is relatively slow, so if we want to promote the growth of branches, we need to prune all the excess branches and leaves, and the branches retain the main branches, and so on. When the main branches grow to a certain extent, it is OK to promote the growth of lateral branches in the later stage to form an open crown. The main purpose of jujube entering the fruiting period is to ensure the yield and human quality of jujube, so it is necessary to prune the branches and leaves with weak growth, no fruit or little fruit, reasonably control the shape of the tree, and cultivate sturdy fruiting mother branches. For the aging period of jujube, we need to be divided into three pruning modes: light renewal, medium renewal and heavy renewal, to cultivate new fruit branches scientifically and maintain the yield of jujube.

These are the main points about jujube pruning techniques that the editor would like to share with you today. I hope I can help you. In general, if we prune scientifically in this way, the yield and quality of jujube trees can be guaranteed accordingly.
