Pruning technique of mulberry tree

Mulberry is a common fruit in our daily life, and its planting area is relatively large in our country. When planting mulberries, it is very important to do a good job of management. Especially the pruning of mulberry trees, the pruning of mulberry trees directly affects the yield and fruit quality of mulberry. So how on earth should mulberry trees be trimmed? The following editor brings you the pruning techniques of mulberry trees, let's have a look!

1. Removing sprouting and thinning shoots

Mulberry trees should properly erase the sprouts of some branches in the early spring or after summer felling. This is called de-sprouting or sprouting, when the new shoots of the plant begin to grow rapidly. It is necessary to remove the overdense new shoots in time, mainly in order to reduce the branches on the plant. Enhance the ability of light, improve ventilation and photosynthesis. It is very beneficial to the tissue differentiation of mulberry trees, which can increase the amount of flowers and fruits and enhance the quality of fruits.

2. Summer felling

After mulberry is ripe and harvested, because most of the nutrients leave the tree with the fruit. Therefore, it takes a period of time for tree growth recovery, after collection, the mulberry tree should be about 25 cm from the ground, the upper part of the plant should be cut off. This is what we often call summer felling, and summer felling is not available for all mulberry trees. It is mainly suitable for some mulberry gardens with high planting density. In summer felling, it should be carried out according to the requirements of tree culture and the number of fruiting mother branches in the second year.

3. Pruning and pruning

Coring and pruning is also a common pruning method for mulberry trees. The main purpose is to promote the germination and growth of secondary branches, increase the number of branches and increase the branch level of mulberry trees. Carry on the rapid shaping work for mulberry trees, so as to achieve the goal of early fruiting and high yield. And the implementation of heart-picking can promote the branch and bud development of mulberry and improve the speed of flower bud differentiation. So as to enhance the flower bud quality of mulberry and achieve the goal of high yield and high yield.

4. Remove the secondary branches

After summer felling, the mulberry tree has basically been fixed. After setting the branches, the specific number of fruiting mother branches in the second year was also determined. Therefore, we should remove the secondary branches from the fruit trees in time to prevent the secondary branches from affecting the growth of the fruiting mother branches, resulting in a decrease in the flowering and fruiting rate in the second year and affecting the planting efficiency. We should always observe the growth of the mother branch, and if there are secondary buds germinating in the leaf axils, we should remove them in time. Otherwise, it will not only affect the growth of fruiting mother branches, but also cause tree shape to be disturbed and reduce permeability.

The above is a brief introduction to the pruning technology of mulberry trees. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
