The latest course on pruning techniques and methods of Chinese wolfberry in spring

With the rise of temperature in spring, the germination time of Chinese wolfberry is earlier than that of other plants. In order to make it grow healthily, have many flowers and fruits, high yield and good quality, it is generally pruned in spring. So how to trim Chinese wolfberry in spring, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.

1. Thinning branches

First of all, it is necessary to prune the dead branches, disease and insect branches, and acupuncture, and then to prune the dense fruit branches to improve the permeability between the branches. Thinning the fruit branch is to first cut off the shade branch, the lower back branch and the thin and weak branch, and then cut off the upper back branch and the middle branch. If the branch is still dense after pruning, the side branches can be trimmed properly. After pruning, the distance between fruit branches should be kept at 5-6 cm, and they are all fruit-bearing branches that grow strong, full and fruiting.

2. Pruning long branches

In spring, when the temperature and water are suitable, the plant branches are very easy to exuberant vitality, resulting in overgrowth, which will consume a lot of nutrients and affect germination. We should also pay attention to the method of pruning the long branches. Generally, the overgrown branches hanging from the backbone branches can be used as the extension branches of the backbone branches, and the appropriate short cut during pruning can make the extension direction of the branches stable. If there is no other branch near the overgrowth, it can be properly cut and cultivated into a fruiting branch, which can expand the crown and increase the fruiting area, and for any valuable overgrown branch, it will be cut off from the base to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption.

3. Update the result branch group

The fruiting branch group of Lycium barbarum generally shows the phenomenon of bending and sagging after two years of fruit, resulting in a decline in fruiting ability. in this case, it can be properly cut short, leaving 3-5 cm, and after sprouting in spring, select a young bud with strong growth and reasonable direction, and cultivate it into a new fruiting branch group, which can not only maintain the original fruiting ability of the plant, but also will not cause excessive consumption of nutrients. Kill two birds with one stone.

4. Renew fruiting branches

Like the fruiting branch group, in the same fruiting branch group, due to the different growth of each fruiting branch, some fruiting branches can bear fruit for more than two years in a row, while others can only bear fruit once, or the number of fruit is less. In general, the weak branches are grayish brown, and the short branches are more obvious, so it is necessary to cut the yield in time and re-cultivate new fruiting branches to avoid nutrient consumption.
