Pruning methods of cherry trees

Cherry is a kind of fruit which is very expensive but sells very well in the market at present. Now the cherries on the market are generally more than 30 yuan per jin, and some even sell for more than 90 to 100 yuan per jin. So in the process of planting cherries, if cherries want to have high yield and high quality, pruning its fruit trees is indeed a very important thing. Let's take a look at how cherry trees are pruned.

1. Pruning young trees

The main purpose of pruning the young cherry trees is to promote the growth of its branches and form a complete tree shape. For a newly planted cherry tree, we usually prune some extra side branches, messy branches and long branches of its most important branches. At first, the branches retain the primary branches to promote the growth of the primary branches, and when they grow to a certain extent, they will be coring and topping to promote the growth of the secondary branches, and then slowly cultivate the lower branches. Finally, the crown is trimmed into natural happy shape, free spindle shape, small crown sparse layer shape, slender spindle shape.

2. Pruning the result tree

1. Spring pruning

In fact, the spring pruning of cherry trees is mainly to erase the newly germinated branches, leaves and flower buds of cherry trees, and retain a small number of sturdy new buds, which are used to cultivate new fruiting mother branches or spare branches. Secondly, cherries usually ripen in spring, so we need to pick the heart reasonably to reduce the consumption of nutrients in the future. At the same time, because cherries mature in this season, we should not only thinning flowers and fruits reasonably, but also trimming lightly as far as possible, otherwise it will hurt the cherry trees and affect the fruit yield of the cherry trees.

2. Summer pruning

Usually in summer, the cherries are basically harvested, so we need a new round of pruning and orchard cleaning. At this stage, we mainly twist the newly grown top of the cherry tree, which can effectively use the space and increase the number of fruiting mother branches, and will not affect the permeability of the crown. It is still necessary to carry out reasonable branch thinning, to remove the overdense branches and leaves on the fruiting mother branch, and to effectively control the number of new shoots. In addition, it is necessary to truncate scientifically, truncate some of the branches on the main backbone branches of the cherry tree and cultivate them into small and medium-sized fruiting branches.

3. Autumn pruning

After the cherry tree enters September, the growth rate of the new treetop will slow down, while the young leaves on the top of the cherry tree will continue to grow, so in order to avoid nutrient consumption, we need to prune the young leaves of the branches and leaves of the same year. This can reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of fruiting mother branches and the differentiation of flower buds. Secondly, we also need to prune the overgrown branches and leaves to enhance the permeability of the crown. The last thing to remember is that after pruning, it is best to take precautions and spray agents that promote healing to avoid infection.

4. Winter pruning

In winter, we first need to truncate some of the branches and leaves of the cherry tree, which can enhance the growth ability of the new branches. Secondly, the strong fruiting mother branches also need to be pruned properly, which can increase the number of fruiting branches and control the growth of new branches. In addition, the branches of annual cherry trees are truncated, mainly by pruning the extended branches of the third-grade branches. Finally, heavy truncation and retractive pruning should be carried out when necessary, which is very beneficial to cherry trees and can prevent cherry trees from aging.
