Zanthoxylum bungeanum is planted all over our country. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not only a kind of vegetable, but also a kind of medicinal material, and it is also very popular in our country. When we plant prickly ash trees, we should pay attention to pruning. And according to the seasonal changes to adjust the pruning method, do a good pruning work in order to ensure the yield and quality of pepper. So in the summer, how to prune pruning pruning? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Pick the heart lightly

Coring is one of the main pruning methods for pruning pruning trees in summer. When picking the heart, it is divided into light picking heart and heavy picking heart because of the importance of picking the heart. When you pick your heart gently, it is usually around June. At this time, the tender shoots at the top of the pepper branches should be removed and the removal length should be kept at about 5 cm. Light heart picking is mainly for fruiting trees to avoid excessive nutrition and growth and promote the flower bud formation of prickly ash trees. After picking the heart, the branches will sprout many times, and they have to pick the heart many times before the goal can be achieved.

2. Re-pick the heart

To pick the heart again is to pick its position to the mature part of the branch when picking the heart. It is usually necessary to remove the branch length of about 6 leaves, and when re-picking the heart, the main object is the young tree, which is reshaped. When the main branch grows to the target length, in order to promote the extraction of the lateral branch, the heart can be re-picked at the right time. When picking the heart again, we should also pay attention to the growth method of lateral branches. Ensure that the growth direction of the second bud is the same as that of the lateral branches to be cultured. However, if the method of the third bud is close to the direction of cultivating lateral branches, then the third bud should be peeled off in time.

3. Take a branch

To take a branch is to hold both hands from the base of the branch to the middle of the branch in order to change the growth method of the branch. Holding branches is mainly used to open the growth angle of branches, ease the growth of branches, and speed up the formation of flower buds on branches. When taking branches, compared with supporting branches, pulling branches and other methods, it is relatively easy to carry out, and its pruning effect is better, so it is not easy to hurt the bark. The pruning method is mainly suitable for the thinner branches, if the branches are too thick, then the branches can not be handled to a reasonable angle.

4. Shearing

Pruning is a method of pruning perennial branches to branch positions, also known as retraction. Shearing can first reduce the growth advantage of the tip of the branch and change the direction of the extended branch. Improve the permeability of the tree and effectively control the crown. The shearing mouth is generally not very large, if the shearing branch is relatively thick, then the shearing can enhance the growth of the shearing branch. When shearing the perennial parts of the backbone branches, we should also pay attention to keeping the auxiliary posts so as to avoid the weakening of the shearing branches and the strengthening of the lower branches.
