It is suitable for fruit trees to pull branches in autumn.

Branch pulling is an important technical measure in fruit tree shaping and pruning. In a year, the branch pulling of fruit trees should be carried out in late summer and early autumn. The branches in this period are soft and malleable, and can change the direction and angle of the branches as needed.

General backbone branches can be pulled up to 90 degrees, and the ground is horizontal; the branches of strong fruit trees should be pulled to oblique drooping shape. The thicker the main branch, the greater the angle of the branch, in order to balance the tree potential.

Note that the length of the branch should be more than 1 meter. If it is too small, it can be opened by means of holding, pressing, and other methods. The opening angle of young and prosperous trees should be 2 ~ 3 years old, not at once, but gradually year by year, so as to achieve the combination of tree growth, shape and fruit. The strong strips on the back of the twigs can be cultivated into small branch groups, which should be removed in time when they are too dense. The binding part of the rope should be selected well, otherwise it will cause small base angle, sagging branch, strip rising at the middle bow back and so on, which will affect the growth of extended branch. After pulling the branches, the branches occupy the space evenly, and it is forbidden to tie up several branches and pull them together.
