When and how to trim the papaya bonsai

If you want papaya bonsai to maintain a good ornamental, but also can lay a good foundation for later blossom and fruit, in the daily maintenance and management process, the implementation of pruning means often plays a very key role. So, when will the papaya bonsai be trimmed? How do you trim it?

In the daily management and protection process of papaya bonsai, the purpose of pruning is to improve the ventilation and light transmission effect of bonsai trees, promote photosynthesis, promote papaya trees to maintain good growth, but at the same time regulate the distribution of nutrients. Generally speaking, it is to maintain the original beautiful plant type and play a role in promoting growth.

Papaya bonsai is pruned in spring and summer, that is, spring and summer pruning. However, in many parts of the south, which are relatively warm in winter and are not vulnerable to frost damage, pruning can sometimes be carried out. However, if the diameter of the wound after winter pruning is more than 2 cm, it needs to be sealed with paraffin wax and mud to protect the wound and promote the healing of the wound.

The timing of pruning in spring is usually carried out during the period from mid-late February to early March. It is mainly to prune and truncate the papaya trees which are already in the fruiting period. Through thinning and cutting treatment, the plant can save a lot of nutrients, so that the tree will grow more prosperous, the result will be more stable, at the same time, the fruit will be stronger and higher quality under the support of more nutrients.

The pruning in summer is mainly to pick the heart of the newly sprouted branches of papaya trees in time, and to erase the useless buds on the branches at the same time, of course, we also need to wait for the opportunity to thinning fruit. It is mainly to remove too much fruit for a time, avoid the phenomenon of excessive dispersion of nutrients, reduce competition, so that the points can be concentrated to the tree body and the remaining fruit, which can also achieve the effect of improving tree potential and strong fruit.

The pruning of papaya bonsai is usually carried out according to the principles of "cutting the big branches first and then the twigs", "cutting the outside first and then cutting the inside", and "cutting the lower part first and then cutting the upper part". Through scientific and reasonable pruning, the pruned bonsai papaya trees will show a more uniform distribution of internal and external branches and leaves, and a more reasonable branch layout.

In this case, the sun shines down from the top of the tree and penetrates into the interior of the tree through the gap between the branches and leaves, so that both the inner and outer layers can receive light, thus increasing the light area of the branches and leaves and increasing photosynthesis. this is very important to promote the growth of papaya bonsai trees. The shadow of the tree on the ground has also become a sieve eye, the tree trunk will not appear bare, the tree body is not obviously hollow, and the bonsai is more beautiful.
