Time and method of ring cutting of jujube

So why do jujube trees be cut in rings? When will the ring be cut? How to operate ring cutting? Let's get to know it.

1. Ring cutting effect

Many people think that ring cutting can promote the fruit setting and young fruit development of jujube, increase the fruit setting rate, reduce the phenomenon of flower and fruit drop, and cut the jujube tree in full bloom, regardless of tree age and fruit size, which will not only reduce the flower and fruit drop, improve the fruit setting rate, but also make the fruit appearance more beautiful, increase the content of soluble solids and sugar, and improve the quality. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to weigh the pros and cons in terms of overall yield, fruit nutritional value and taste.

In recent years, there has been a further understanding of this problem. It is considered that the initial flowering stage of Dongzao jujube is earlier than that of other jujube varieties, and the temperature in the early flowering stage does not necessarily reach the critical point of fruit setting, so it must wait until the temperature is stable above 24 degrees. Some people think that the ring cutting time of winter jujube should be 2-3 days later than other jujube trees.
