Matters needing attention in pruning kiwifruit trees

When planting kiwifruit trees, we must do a good job in pruning, and when pruning kiwifruit, we should pay attention to adjust the pruning methods according to the tree potential and age to prevent excessive pruning. After the pruning work is done, it can improve the ventilation and permeability of fruit trees, enhance the photosynthetic capacity, and improve the yield and quality. However, in the pruning, there are a lot of places we need to pay attention to, the following editor brought you kiwifruit pruning points for attention, let's have a look!

1. Because of tree pruning

When pruning, we should pay attention to observe the varieties, growth years and other aspects of kiwifruit trees, because because of these factors, the methods and intensity of pruning will change to a certain extent. Many fruit growers do not pay attention to these factors when pruning and blindly prune them. And a single use of the same pruning method for a long time, resulting in not growing trees, leading to bad phenomena such as big and small years.

2. Winter cutting time

Winter shearing is a must work that many fruit growers know, but very often people will prune it immediately after harvest. Pruning immediately will actually waste a lot of nutrients. The period of harvesting leaves is caused by the accumulation of nutrients in kiwifruit trees, and the leaves can continue to photosynthesis. If the pruning time is too early, it will reduce the accumulation of nutrients and affect the flowering and fruiting in the coming year. However, too late pruning time is not good, too late pruning will delay the phenological phase of kiwifruit, reduce the branching rate, leading to fruit deformities and so on. Generally, it is best to prune about 10 days after falling leaves.

3. Deal with pruning branches

When pruning in winter, most branches will carry diseases and insect pests, and the pruning objects are mainly old withered branches, pest branches and other branches. If not cut off in time, these branches will become the source of spread of orchard diseases and insect pests in the coming year. Therefore, we prune too high in winter, and we should dispose of these branches in time. If we do not deal with them in time, the diseases and insect pests will recover their vitality and spread by the branches in the spring of the following year, which will seriously affect the planting efficiency.

4. Decisive pruning

Be careful not to give up when pruning, many friends will not have the heart to cut off the branches with strong growth and many leaves when they are pruning. Lead to rhesus monkey peach tree shape confusion, the formation of too many overgrown branches, seriously reducing the permeability of fruit trees. It will not only consume too much nutrition, but also reduce the flowering and fruiting rate of kiwifruit trees, increase the workload of management, and reduce the economic benefits of planting.

5. Pay attention to the sprouts

Many people who plant for the first time will not pay attention to the cutting buds when they are pruning for the first time. They will sprout and cut short constantly, resulting in too many branches and forming too dense branches, so that the branches can not become flowers. When we cut short, we should adjust the treatment method according to the different branches, according to the variety, growth and other factors. It is necessary to timely remove long and dense, crossed, overlapping and other branches that have no growth value, so as to improve the permeability of fruit trees.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in the pruning of kiwifruit trees. Although the pruning work is more tedious, it is the key to ensure the healthy growth of kiwifruit trees, so we must master a correct pruning method. That's all for today's introduction.
