If you don't understand, let's take a look at how the editor prunes the lemon tree.

1. Pruning at the young tree stage

The main purpose of pruning during the sapling period is to promote the growth of young lemon trees. Generally speaking, the pruning of lemon trees that have not yet borne fruit belongs to the category of young tree pruning. Lemon trees at this stage have more long and messy branches, so generally speaking, we have to retain the main branches, select the branches and trim the excess branches. The second is that when we keep the graded branches, we all need to control the distance between them, not too close, while maintaining a good tree shape.

2. Pruning in the early fruit stage

The amount of fruit of the lemon tree in the early fruit stage is not very high, so we should pay attention to its growth and fruit, and control the permeability of the crown at the same time. The second is to prune the overgrown or overgrown branches and leaves to maintain a good crown. There is a reasonable pruning in accordance with the principle of going weak and staying strong, and it is best to use hanging or support to control the distance between branches.

3. Pruning in full fruit period

The full fruit period is when the lemon tree bears the most fruit, so in order to improve the yield and quality of lemon, we can also achieve this goal through pruning of branches and leaves. When pruning, we should try to make the tree shape and lemon grow evenly and prune some fruiting branches reasonably to avoid the consumption of nutrients. The second is to prune the new branches reasonably according to the fruit amount of lemons. Of course, some parts of us have to set aside a certain amount of space, so that we can ensure sufficient light. Finally, we also need to prune the branches that cross too much or grow too densely.

4. Pruning during recession

Lemon leaves in the recession period is generally after the end of the full fruit period, the psychological functions of the lemon tree have gradually declined, resulting in the weakening of the fruit function of the mother branch, if not pruned, then the yield of lemon will be seriously reduced. Generally speaking, we should prune the aged fruiting branches, retain the prepared fruiting mother branches, and promote the growth of new branches as much as possible. generally speaking, except for the top branches, the rest of the relatively weak branches and leaves can be trimmed clean, and then combined with fertilization to promote the growth of branches and leaves, so as to increase the yield of lemon.
