Pulling branches of fruit trees is a great knowledge, which can increase the daylighting of fruit trees, adjust the shape of fruit trees, increase the ventilation of fruit trees and increase the amount of fruit. Here, I would like to share with you about the problem of pulling branches of fruit trees.

1. The function of pulling branches of fruit trees.

Pulling branches of fruit trees can promote the branches of fruit trees to receive uniform light, especially at the base of the branches, if the branches are not pulled, the base of the branches rarely receive light, which can easily lead to late flower bud differentiation of fruit trees. And the tree-shaped growth is random, which does not meet the requirements of intensive planting in orchards. Reasonable branch pulling can adjust the growth of fruit trees in time, which is beneficial for branches to receive light and improve fruit setting.

2. Time for fruit trees to pull branches

Time fruit trees need to grasp the time to pull branches, usually in late spring in March and April, or in late summer in August and September. At this time, the branches of fruit trees are still relatively soft and plastic. If the branches are pulled in winter, the branches are brittle and easy to break, the fruit trees grow vigorously in summer, and the new branches grow out again after pulling branches, and the effect of pulling branches is not obvious. The two time periods of late spring and late summer are the most suitable, and the end of summer is better between the two, because pulling branches at the end of summer is beneficial to accumulate nutrition and promote flowering in the coming year.

3. Branch pulling method

The technical requirements of pulling branches of fruit trees are relatively high, so it requires the accumulation of experience of fruit farmers. To pull branches, you need to consider the variety of fruit trees, not to pull branches as you please. In addition, it is necessary to pull branches according to the age of the fruit tree. The activity of pulling branches of fruit trees can be carried out when the tree is about one year old. Generally, the main branches and side branches are pulled when the tree is 2 to 3 years old, because the height of the fruit tree at this time is more suitable, and it will not affect the crown formation of the fruit tree, but also conducive to fruit.

In addition to the problems of fruit tree variety and tree age, fruit growers also need to consider branch pulling tools in the process of pulling branches. Many fruit growers are very casual in the process of pulling branches, and the pulling tools are also very unreasonable, such as using a thinner rope to pull branches. It is very likely to cause the branch line to be embedded in the fruit tree, affecting the normal growth of the fruit tree. Wide cloth strips or straw ropes and other branch pulling tools can be used to remove the rope in time after the drawing branches are finalized to prevent embedding.

In addition, the angle of pulling branches is also very important, generally need to pull branches according to the situation of fruit trees, generally form the effect of scattered up and down, so that the uniform branches of fruit trees is the light. The smaller the crown, the greater the opening angle of the trunk branch in the process of branch drawing. The higher the branch, the greater the opening angle of the branch.

The above is the scientific development of agriculture on the fruit tree branch of a brief analysis, I hope to help you.
