Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Plums are a kind of fruit that tastes sour. Many people first feel sour and sweet when they eat plums, but they will not be very sour when they are ripe. Plums are fruits from plum trees. Everyone will find them when planting plums, except flat.

Plums are a kind of fruit that tastes very sour. Many people eat plums with the first feeling of sour and sweet, but when they are ripe, they will not be very sour. Plums are fruits from plum trees. When planting plums, we will find that in addition to doing a good job in the daily water and fertilizer pipes of plums, we also need to prune the plum trees as a whole. Pruning is very important to the growth of plum trees. Then Shuai Shuai will tell you how to prune plum trees.

When will the plum tree be pruned

Pruning plum trees every year is mainly carried out in two seasons, and the two pruning methods are different, respectively in summer and winter, we continue to look down.

1. Summer pruning

We have to prune three to five times in summer. when we prune, we should first know what we want to prune, because the first time we trim is at the beginning of summer, that is, when spring is over, the first pruning object is the buds that do not grow well, the weak buds in the double buds and invalid branches, like these are all redundant branches, which can bring a lot of nutrition to other branches after cutting. The second pruning is when the flowers fall, and the third pruning is after the flowers fall. Pruning can control the density of the branches.

2. Winter pruning

Winter pruning is only a supplement to the previous pruning, with no other purpose, but to maintain a balanced growth of branches and balance the plum tree as a whole.

2. Pruning methods of plum trees

1. Pruning in childhood

First of all, the plum tree is in the early stage of planting. At the beginning, the plum tree is in a prosperous period of growth, and the growth rate and trend of the branches are very fast, and the trunk part grows very fast. So our main purpose of pruning is to make it slowly tend to a good tree shape and pruning, because we want to ensure the yield of early fruit trees, so we can not build too hard. Let the branches be normally loose and nutritious to all parts, so that the whole tree growth is balanced, in addition, some annual short branches are reduced, so that more short and medium branches can grow out.

2. Pruning at the beginning of the result

After two to three years of planting, the plum tree will enter the fruiting stage from its infancy. By this time, the yield can probably be predicted. The purpose of pruning in the fruiting period is to make the overall shape of the plum tree grow better. So that the branches can grow thicker and wider, in addition to pruning, we should also pay attention to the environmental conditions. Try to cut the backbone short when pruning, which can reduce the density of the branches.

3. Pruning in full fruiting period

After the fruiting period, it is the stage of harvest, so the main purpose of pruning at this time is to improve the transport of nutrients, and the nutrient consumption of plum trees in the full fruit period is very large. so we should try our best to reduce some unnecessary branches to reduce the amount of nutrition, to use more nutrients in the development of the fruit, to make the fruit grow bigger and better, mainly to cut off the main and side branches. This can make the branches of the plum tree grow better, but also reduce part of the consumption of nutrients, more and more tend to the perfect growth of the tree in the later stage, and promote the fruit.

4. Pruning during aging and renewal period

Finally, there is pruning after fruit picking, when the tree is in the time of aging and withering, the leaves will slowly fall, the fruit yield will decrease, and the branches will wither. at this time, what we need to do is to ensure that the branches can renew faster and grow new branches. the main pruning of the trunk, so that the trunk can grow new branches as soon as possible, promote its fruiting ability, and grow new fruit as soon as possible.

The above is the time and method of pruning plum trees, the purpose of pruning plum trees in each stage is not the same, so the object of pruning is also different, if the pruning is good, it will have a great effect on its growth and development. But do not over-prune, control the number of pruning at each time. If you want to know more related information, please continue to follow the pro-agriculture network!
