The latest course of techniques and methods for shaping and pruning Hawthorn trees

Hawthorn is a very common fruit, and now there are many products processed from Hawthorn on the market, such as Crispy Sugar-Coated Fruit, Hawthorn juice and so on. Hawthorn planting area in China is also relatively large, but some fruit farmers will find that the yield of Hawthorn is relatively low, in fact, it may be because the shaping and pruning work has not been done well. So how to trim the Hawthorn tree? The following editor has brought the shaping and pruning technology of Hawthorn tree, let's have a look!

1. Pruning young trees

The growth rate of Hawthorn young trees is relatively slow and weak, which is also the slow seedling stage of Hawthorn trees. In this stage, the pruning work is mainly plastic surgery, cultivate the backbone branches, adjust the growth direction and angle of the backbone branches, and lay the foundation for the results. The young trees in the growing period of 3 years should be heavily truncated and not thinned, so as to promote the Hawthorn tree to produce more strong branches, expand the crown, improve the flowering rate and achieve the goal of early fruiting. If the main and lateral branches are properly truncated, the moderate branches with moderate growth should leave room for growth, increase the number of branches and fruit setting of fruit trees, and properly remove the branches that are too dense and will rob the backbone branches for nutrients.

2. Pruning the first fruit trees

In this stage of pruning, the tree shape of the book should be set, and a variety of fruiting branches should be cultivated. Increase the yield of fruit trees and prepare for the transition to high yield. The pruning direction is thinning the interbranch and cultivating the fruiting branch. If the auxiliary branch grabs the nutrients of the backbone branch, the auxiliary branch should be thinned in time. When not all should be removed, there should be some reservation, and the remaining branches should guide them to slow growth and promote fruit. The branches that bear fruit for more than two years can be retracted in time to prevent external fruiting. The branches with sufficient growth space can be properly cultivated into fruiting branches to remove overdense and overgrown branches.

3. Pruning fruit trees

The pruning direction of the full fruit tree is similar to that of the first fruit tree, which is mainly tree shape and culture fruit mother branch. Control the number of leaves, properly adjust the canopy surface, update the fruiting mother branch, and prevent the phenomenon of large and small years. Increase the yield, ensure high yield and high yield, and improve the time of full fruit. The main pruning methods are truncation and retraction to control the ratio of fruiting branches to vegetative branches of fruit trees. Remove the peripheral branches, cut short, thinning flowers and fruits, so as to promote the concentration of nutrition and promote the development of vegetative branches. Cut off useless branches such as too long, too dense, overlapping and so on.

4. Update tree pruning

This period is when the fruit tree renews the fruit mother branch, the growth rate of the fruit tree will obviously decrease, the backbone branch is weak, and the inner chamber branch has fallen leaves seriously. There are a large number of overdense branches, but the self-recovery ability of Hawthorn tree is relatively strong, as long as we strengthen water and fertilizer management, do a good job of mid-ploughing and weeding and proper pruning, we can restore growth and prolong the life of the fruit. The pruning method is usually to retract the backbone branches at all levels every year and re-culture the fruiting branches with overgrown branches.

Hawthorn tree has different pruning methods at each growth stage, which we need to study hard and must master. Hawthorn tree shape is relatively tall, if not pruned in time, the orchard is too closed, poor permeability, lack of light on inner branches, resulting in a decline in flowering and fruiting rate, planting efficiency is greatly affected. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
