The latest citrus tree pruning techniques tutorial

Proper pruning can make citrus trees grow better and make their full fruiting period longer, but pruning is also fastidious and cannot be pruned at will. Citrus trees are more demanding to prune because they tend to grow more loosely and have no specific trunk. So how do citrus trees prune?

1. Select the trunk

Before pruning, we should first determine which branches grow well and have a good direction. They can be cultivated as trunks, and then prune around the trunk. At this time, we should generally determine them at the seedling stage. Adult trees need to pay attention to whether the trunk is suitable and whether the fruit yield is high. Generally, citrus trees will choose several trunks with the same growth direction, so that when one of them is not suitable, removing it will not greatly affect the growth of citrus trees.

2. Clean up weak branches

After determining the trunk, we should start to clean up some weak branches that grow scattered. Such branches consume the nutrients of citrus trees and will not bring benefits to everyone. First of all, it is different from the trunk growth direction and has fewer branch nodes, which results in fewer results and destroys the growth trend of citrus trees. And this is hidden under the leaves of some irregular twigs, such not only their own poor growth, but also affect some high-quality branches, so also need to be clear.

3, plastic

The purpose of pruning is to produce high yield, and generally sunny citrus trees grow the best fruit, so the pruning process also needs to set the citrus trees so that they can better absorb sunlight. Citrus trees are generally shaped into umbrella-shaped, so that they can receive sunlight to the greatest extent, and some dense leaves in the middle need to be removed, and the middle part can also absorb a certain amount of penetrating light.

4, pruning time

Citrus tree pruning time is mainly seedling pruning, fruit early pruning, pruning of old trees three general time periods. According to the weather conditions, it is generally a few days after rain or irrigation. At this time, citrus trees can receive moisture and moisture, and their vitality is relatively vigorous, with relatively little damage. Remember not to prune in the sun, when citrus trees are most damaged. When pruning must be thorough, branches should be removed from the root node as far as possible, and the same is true for leaves.

The above is the citrus tree pruning process, citrus tree growers can learn. It is recommended not to leave the wreckage after each trimming, it is best to take it away. After pruning, pay attention to the growth of citrus trees and pay attention to watering, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.
