Pruning is a key technique when planting. Let's take a look at how persimmons should be trimmed.

1. Winter shears

Winter pruning is mainly carried out in the dormant period in winter, and can be carried out after falling leaves to before the Spring Festival budding. Due to the poor cold resistance of persimmon trees, early pruning is not conducive to overwintering, but early pruning is beneficial to the formation of mixed buds in pruning. Winter shears should first cut short the excessively long autumn shoots, so as not to cause the canopy to close quickly. In addition, when pruning, the disease and insect branches should be trimmed off, and the dead branches and leaves will be burned deeply to eliminate the source of overwintering diseases and insect pests, and whiten the tree trunk after pruning to increase the cold resistance of the tree.

2. Spring scissors

Spring pruning time can be carried out from shoot budding to flowering in spring. The main purpose of pruning is to regulate the agitation of backbone branches and balance the development of tree potential. For winter fruiting branches and spring or summer shoot fruiting branches, the summer shoot section should be cut off in time and the spring shoot section should be retained. At the same time, in order to avoid too many fruiting branches, resulting in dense fruiting branches, some fruiting branches should be thinned, the permeability should be maintained, and the pruning wound should be protected by medicine in time to avoid the invasion of bacteria.

3. Summer scissors

Summer pruning is carried out after flowering, first of all, 2-3 leaves are left to pick the heart repeatedly before leaf expansion to reduce nutrient consumption, and then fruit should be thinned in time after physiological fruit drop, generally 2-3 strong branches, 1-2 medium branches and 3 weak branches. When thinning fruit, it should be noted that there should be a certain distance between the fruits on the same fruiting branch, so as to avoid expanding and squeezing in the later stage of fruit stage, which will affect the development of fruit.

4. Pruning young trees

The pruning of young trees is mainly to restore the skeleton, cultivate familiarity, and pay attention to the balance and subordinate relationship between the main branches, but also pick the heart in time to promote the growth of fruit-bearing branches. Generally control the height of the trunk at about 1.2 meters, select the main branches according to the shape of the tree, reduce thinning and increase the number of branches. For strong branches and overgrown branches, it is necessary to prune and pick the heart in time, promote the growth of secondary branches and expand the crown.
