Matters needing attention in girdling of fruit trees

Fruit tree girdling can cut off its nutrient transport site, adjust the nutrient balance of the tree, inhibit branch growth, and has a very significant effect on the formation of flower buds, the reduction of flower and fruit drop and the increase of fruit setting. However, improper girdling will not only weaken the tree potential and reduce the resistance to the environment, but also cause the problem of dead trees, so what should be paid attention to? Let's get to know it.

1. Pay attention to the type of girdling

The girdling of fruit trees also depends on the varieties of fruit trees, such as apples, pears, dates, oranges and other fruit trees, but attention should be paid to the girdling of fruit trees such as apricots, apricots, plums and cherries, because the wounds of these peach trees have already flowed gum after ring peeling. in addition, the formation of lumps will affect wound healing, which is not conducive to the growth and development of fruit trees. In addition, when girdling, we should also pay attention to whether the tree strength of the fruit tree is strong, and it is suitable for the tree strength and strength, but not for the weak fruit tree.

2. Pay attention to the time of girdling

The girdling time is generally carried out in the early stage of flower bud differentiation of fruit trees, and the time is generally controlled from June to July. Note that if it is too early or too prosperous, it will affect the normal growth and development of fruit trees and flower bud differentiation. Girdling should also pay attention to the weather, try to choose sunny morning, not suitable for rainy days, lest Rain Water wet the wound and cause plant infection.

3. Girdling site

Girdling is generally carried out on backbone branches, perennial lateral branches and erect branches of fruit trees. generally, girdling is carried out on branches above 5-10 cm in thickness, and the girdling site is chosen as far as possible in the smooth part of the branches. Fruit tree trunk and branches are not suitable for girdling, which need to be paid attention to.

4. Depth and width of girdling

The width and depth of girdling should also be noted that the depth and width of girdling is not the deeper or wider the better, it should be determined according to the variety, characteristics, tree potential and branch potential of fruit trees. In general, the phloem cortex of the branch is cut off and the xylem layer is touched without harming the xylem layer. The width is generally 1/10 of the diameter of the girdled branch, and the erect branch can be widened properly. The girdling wound should be healed within one month.
