Plum tree planting: how to fertilize plum tree? Pruning time of plum trees

How to fertilize and prune plums? If you want to know, let's take a look.

First, after the plum trees are planted, you will be advised to apply at least secondary organic fertilizer, and then apply a small amount of chemical fertilizer if you do not want to use chemical fertilizer, but it is not recommended that you use compost containing livestock manure, because this kind of compost generally contains high urea nitrogen, fast decomposition and fast mobility, and is less likely to blossom and bear fruit if applied at the wrong time. Your current plum condition, because of poor nutrition, the original accumulation of nutrients in the soil has been insufficient and out of balance, resulting in him due to the lack of nutrients and can not blossom normally. So it is recommended that you first apply some commercially available organic matter fertilizers this year (only this year). If the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 4-2-2 or 4-3-3, and the content of organic matter is 60-70%, then in August, a plum tree can apply about 10 kilograms without digging trenches and burying fertilizer, just spread evenly within the crown (the branches and leaves of the tree grow to the outside). There can be more near the crown (because the place where the plant absorbs nutrients is the root hair, which is generally more far away from the trunk). Under normal irrigation, it should be obvious that the growth of plum trees becomes more exuberant after about 2-3 weeks. In October, the application of another 10 kg / plant of organic fertilizer should help this year's flowering and fruiting, wait until next year's fruit, apply again, should be harvested larger plums, if you want to have larger plums, it is best to use chemical fertilizer this time, because the speed and amount of organic fertilizer decomposition can not fully meet the needs of fruit growth. But the fertilization before flowering next year needs to be readjusted, not in this way, otherwise the flowers are not easy to grow and the fruit is easy to fall.

Second, let the plant relaxed, reduce the burden, increase sufficient light, ventilation, reduce diseases and insect pests! Pruning miscellaneous branches and growing branches is the most beneficial and effective method for fruit plum! The fruit ripening period of plum is about between May and June, so it is known as Meiyu, and the Meiyu period varies from region to region. The ripening period of its fruit is different! It's even more empathic for growers!

The ripening of plums follows the "plant breeding season" in mid-June. And the pruning period is in the meantime, but you should make a good grasp of it! Miss the period will shadow the direction, the productivity of fruit plum.

Third, plums are deep-rooted crops and do not need special watering in general, unless the weather is too hot and the leaves are slightly curled (non-diseases and insect pests), they should be watered moderately in the evening, about until the soil is moist and looks slightly watery. But if after the result, in order to promote the growth of plum fruit, it is generally at least once a week to water, such plums will be larger.
