Matters needing attention for girdling of cherry trees

Girdling of cherry trees can promote flower bud differentiation, improve flower and fruit setting rate and fruit varieties, and also increase yield. However, the improper time and method of girdling will lead to the phenomenon of gum flow in the cherry tree, resulting in the weakness or death of the plant, so be cautious, let's take a look at the introduction of cherry ring peeling precautions together with Xiaobian.

1. Girdling time

The time of girdling must be well controlled, too early will affect the normal growth of new shoots, but too late, the wound is extremely difficult to heal, easily infected with diseases and insect pests and withered branches die, in addition, girdling too early too late to promote flower effect is not good. The best time for girdling is about half a month after flowering, when most of the leaves can carry out photosynthesis and can synthesize nutrients through leaves for fruit growth, which can not only improve fruit setting rate and fruit variety, but also promote wound healing. Another time is after fruit harvest to July, when girdling can control plant growth and promote flower bud differentiation.

2. Girdling the object

The object of girdling for cherries should be the main branches or secondary branches of exuberant plants, generally peeling only the main branches and secondary branches, not the trunk, so as to prevent the plants from dying due to lack of nutrients and water. Girdling is that the amount of girdling of the main branches and auxiliary branches of the same plant should be controlled at about 1/3, which can avoid the lack of nutrition and death of the branches, but it is not suitable for the plants with weak tree strength.

3. Ring peeling method

The width of girdling is generally 1/10 of the diameter of the branch, and the smooth part of the trunk should be selected for girdling. Girdling requires that the wound be smooth, but the width can be inconsistent, so that in the process of wound healing, the narrow part can heal first. avoid the phenomenon of leaf color fading and tree weakness. During girdling, you should not touch the exposed xylem and bandage it in time after girdling to avoid bacterial infection. You can also smear the healing agent to speed up wound healing.

4. Post-girdling management

After girdling, it is necessary to strengthen the fertilizer and water management of the plant, strengthen the tree potential, so as not to weaken the tree potential, and at the same time do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests to prevent the invasion of germs. Pay attention to the drainage measures in the rainy season, do not smear the fungicide duck plague near the wound, so as not to cause the wound to heal, or even cause the wound to rot. Remove the bandage in time after the wound heals.
