Key points of pruning techniques for peach trees

Peach is a kind of fruit that we like to eat very much, there are many different varieties, and it has a wide planting area in our country. Now after entering winter, peach trees should also be pruned properly to prepare for peach trees to survive the winter. However, many people do not master a correct pruning technique, which affects the growth of peach trees after pruning. So how on earth should peach trees be trimmed? The following editor has brought the key points of peach tree pruning techniques. Let's have a look!

1. Long shoot pruning

When pruning, we should pay attention to the peach tree age and growth stage, for the branches within a year can not be re-cut, appropriate pruning and throwing off. After pruning, the sprouting ability and growth ability of branches will be strengthened, but the growth will still be weakened. However, it has large growth and scattered nutrients, which can promote flower bud differentiation, flowering and fruiting and so on. Therefore, for strong growth and young trees, light cutting is the main way to promote fruiting time, ease growth and promote the growth of peach trees.

2. Truncation

There are four kinds of truncation, such as heavy truncation and medium truncation, and the main pruning object is also the branches growing within a year, so cut off about 1x3 to improve the nutrient absorption of branches, enhance the growth ability and the growth of new shoots. Short section is mainly used on fruit trees with more branches and greater competitiveness. By cutting short, the competition between branches can be reduced, the extreme difference can be prevented, and the fruiting mother branch can be cultivated directly on the trunk.

3. Thinning cut

Thinning is to completely cut off peach branches from the base, in order to prevent too many branches, respiration affecting light absorption, reducing fruit tree permeability and affecting growth. Ensure that the branches are sparse and dense and evenly distributed on the peach trees. It can also improve at least the growth ability and promote the flower bud differentiation of peach trees. The main objects of thinning and pruning are overlong and dense branches, overlapping branches and branches of diseases and insect pests on peach trees.

4. Erase buds

When the new buds of peach trees sprout, the extra new buds should be erased from the branches, mainly for overgrowth and competition. Usually the two branches are wiped off half of the buds, and then the growth direction is adjusted appropriately during plastic surgery. The sprouting on young trees should be based on keeping the strong and removing the weak. Wiping buds can prevent the growth of too many useless branches, reduce nutrition consumption, increase the light area of peach branches, and prevent peach trees from being infected with diseases and insect pests caused by too large wounds.

5. Pick the heart

The main purpose of coring is to inhibit the growth of new shoots, control the speed of vegetative growth and promote the growth of new branches of peach trees. It is usually used in the shaping of young trees and the tissue culture of adult trees. When picking the heart, do not carry on the lignified part, otherwise it will affect the growth of peach trees and lead to diseases such as gum disease. So in order to prevent all the Lignification of the branches, we should start to pick the heart when the new tip grows to about 25 centimeters.

The above is a brief introduction to the main technical points of peach tree pruning, and there are many ways to prune peach trees. For example, taking branches and shearing are all carried out for the healthy growth of peach trees. And we should pay attention to deal with the pruning wound after pruning, if it can not heal quickly, it may lead to wound infection, affect the growth of peach trees seriously or even die. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
