Reasons for the latest pruning of citrus trees

Citrus is one of the most common fruit trees in China. As a relatively low fruit tree, pruning is essential in order to maximize its nutrients. While citrus trees are generally pruned in four cases, in these cases, the pruned citrus trees can generally increase the yield of fruit trees to a certain extent, so let's learn about it with Xiaobian.

1. Pruning of the first seedling

The first seedling is a period that everyone must pay attention to. At present, there are generally no restrictions on the cultivation of citrus. Because of environmental factors, some seedlings will slowly spread around, so it is difficult for such seedlings to grow tall, so they need to be pruned. For some sturdy branches, it is suggested that they should be fixed with ropes and trunks. Pruning is not recommended. Some young branches can be cut off and cut off with scissors as an excuse.

2. Disease pruning

Diseases are one of the situations in which citrus trees are easy to guide pruning, and not all diseases need to be treated with chemicals. For example, some pests or diseases in the early stage of the disease can be treated by pruning and removing pathogens. At this time, the pruning is generally carried out only on the top of the twigs, and the larger trunk cannot be trimmed. And the pruning at this time must be completely cut off from the joints.

3. Adult tree pruning

Adult trees generally enter a low-yield period after a strong growth point has passed, when citrus trees have an aging trend, and some aging branches can no longer support high yield. At this time, it is necessary to clean up some old branches so that the new branches have room and nutrients to grow. For some luxuriant growth but very little fruit yield parts, we must carefully check, if it is still aging also need to be removed directly.

4. High yield pruning

Finally, there is the pruning before the fruit. The fruit yield of each citrus tree has a peak, and its nutrient supply is only so much, but the fruit yield is not certain. There are often some citrus trees with very high fruit yield but no mature fruit. This is because the nutrient demand for fruit exceeds the supply. At this time, we should pertinently remove the weak branches in some marginal areas, so that the nutrients of citrus trees can be concentrated on these better growing branches, noodles, in order to maintain high yield.

The above are several reasons for citrus tree pruning, fruit tree pruning has been inevitable, only better removal of useless objects on the fruit trees, in order to increase the fruit-producing age of fruit trees to a certain extent. We should pay attention to this aspect, pruning is a very effective means.
