Pruning techniques of Lycium barbarum in spring

As the spring temperature rises, the germination time of wolfberry is earlier than other plants. In order to make it grow strong, have more flowers and fruits, have high yield and good quality, it is generally pruned in spring. So how to prune wolfberry in spring, let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

1. Thinning branches

The first is to trim dead branches, diseased branches, needles, and then to thin out the over-dense fruit branches to improve the permeability between branches. Thinning fruit branches is to first cut off shade branches, lower branches and thin branches, then cut off upper branches and middle branches, if the branches are still relatively dense after pruning, you can properly trim some branches. After pruning, keep the distance between fruit branches at 5-6 cm, and they are all strong and fruitful fruit branches.

2, pruning long branches

In spring, when the temperature and moisture are suitable, the branches of the plant are extremely vigorous, resulting in excessive growth, which will consume a lot of nutrients and affect germination. For excessive long branch pruning should also pay attention to the method, generally grow in the backbone of the excessive long branch hanging out, can be used as an extension of the backbone branch, pruning appropriate short can, so that the extension direction of the branch stability. If there are no other branches nearby, they can be cut short appropriately and cultivated into fruit branches, which can expand the crown and increase the fruit area, while for any value of excessive branches, they will be cut off from the base to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption.

3. Update the fruiting branch group

The fruiting branch group of Lycium barbarum will generally present the phenomenon of bending and drooping after two years of fruiting, resulting in the decline of fruiting ability. In this case, it can be appropriately truncated, leaving 3-5 cm. After sprouting in spring, select a robust bud with reasonable direction, and culture it into a new fruiting branch group. In this way, the original fruiting ability of the plant can be maintained without excessive consumption of nutrients.

4. Update the fruiting branches

As with fruiting branch groups, some fruiting branches can bear fruit continuously for more than two years due to different growth conditions of each fruiting branch in the same fruiting branch group, while some fruiting branches can bear fruit only once or have fewer fruits. Generally, the weaker branches are grayish brown, and the short branches are more obvious. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to cut off the yield in time and re-cultivate new fruit branches to avoid nutrient consumption.

The above is the introduction of wolfberry spring pruning technology, I hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please pay attention to us.
