The latest course on pruning techniques of kiwifruit trees

Kiwifruit, also known as kiwifruit, has a wide range of planting areas in China. Kiwifruit has a large tree shape, so pruning is essential in the process of planting. Proper pruning can improve the permeability of fruit trees, adjust the balance between reproductive growth and vegetative growth of kiwifruit trees, and enhance fruit quality. So how to prune the macaque peach tree? The following editor brings you the pruning of kiwifruit trees. Let's have a look!

1. Pruning young trees

Young trees should also be pruned properly, and the main pruning direction of young trees is to cultivate main branches and fruit mother branches. Therefore, during the growing period of young trees, we should timely cut off the sprouting of rootstocks and erase excess buds. Then it is necessary to do a good job of coring when the fruiting mother branch grows to about 70 centimeters. When it is found that the tip of the backbone branch is weak and curly during cultivation, it is also necessary to pick the heart in time to prevent it from affecting the rate of flowering and fruiting. Finally, in the dormant period of fallen leaves, the new shoots should be cut short and the length should be extended to the place where the new buds are full at the top.

2. Pruning during the growing period

The pruning during the growing period should not be too heavy, cut off the overdense branches and retain the healthy branches. In order to reasonably distribute the vegetative branches and fruiting mother branches on the fruit trees, the overgrown branches and vertical growing branches which disturb the shape of kiwifruit should be cut off in time. Also in the growing period when the vegetative branch grows to about 70 cm, the heart is removed. Then the heart was removed when the uppermost fruit node of the fruit branch retained about 6 leaves, and the new shoots of the second growth should be carried out at 4 times. After entering the dormant period, the new shoots that grew in the same year should be cut short.

3. Pruning in full fruit period

In the full fruit period, the pruning intensity should be adjusted according to the growth of the tree, and the strong fruit tree should be trimmed appropriately, otherwise, the pruning intensity should be increased. Pruning should be based on thinning and cutting, and we should also pay attention to doing a good job of pruning during the growing period. In the full fruit period, it is necessary to pick the hearts of all the branches, and when picking the stars, the strong branches should be properly long, and vice versa. When picking the heart, the retention length should be controlled according to the growth age of branches and kiwifruit varieties. To ensure the healthy growth of fruiting mother branches and increase the amount of hanging fruit.

4. Dormant pruning

With the gradual decrease of the temperature in winter, kiwifruit trees will gradually enter the dormant period, at this time we should adjust the pruning methods according to the planting varieties. For example, the robust and nutritious branches of the Chinese variety kiwifruit trees should retain 7-9 buds. The spacing between each fruiting mother branch should be kept at about 35 cm. Then cut off the old withered branches, pest branches and so on from the base, and then observe the growth position of the overgrown branches. if the position is poor, all the branches should be cut off from the base, otherwise, about 5 buds can be properly truncated.

The above is a brief introduction of kiwifruit pruning technology, kiwifruit pruning is very important to its growth, directly related to the yield and fruit quality of kiwifruit, so we must pay more attention to it.
