When is the best time for cherry to pull branches?

Cherry is a kind of expensive fruit, and it also has a large planting area in our country, which is welcomed by many people. When planting cherries, we need to do a lot of management work. One of them is the drawing branch, which can effectively improve the yield of cherry trees by expanding the angle of cherry branches. So when is the best time for cherries to pull branches? Today, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look at it.

1. Pull the order of the branch

Cherry branch is mainly to open cherry branches or the angle and direction of the plant, expand the crown of the cherry tree, so that it can take shape as soon as possible. It can also improve the permeability of cherry trees and reasonably adjust the types of tree nutrition and endogenous hormones. Avoid trees or branches growing too strong, affecting the formation of flowers, so as to improve the flowering rate of cherry trees and early fruiting time. At the same time, we should pay attention to the sweet cherry young trees, because the sweet cherry young trees are more exuberant, the base angle of the main branch is small, and the branches grow upright, so it is necessary to do a good job of pulling branches and opening corners.

2. Pulling time

Cherry branch pulling can usually be carried out all year round, but it is best to do it in spring and autumn. In the spring, because the branches are more brittle, it is easy to split the wound, resulting in glue flow. Therefore, it should be carried out when Ching Ming Festival tree sap begins to flow, not prematurely. Autumn branch pulling should begin when the autumn shoot slows down, that is, around September. At this time, pulling branches can prevent the extension of the head, and the branches are relatively soft, which can effectively adjust the angle and methods of the branches to achieve the purpose of improving permeability.

3. Branch pulling method

Pulling branches is based on the principle of one push, two kneading, three pressing and four positioning. One push is to hold the branch in your hand and push it up and down, because the branch is easy to split, so shake the base of the branch fully before pulling it to soften it. Then the second kneading is to knead the branches left and right, hold the branches with one hand and the base of the branches with the other, slowly twist them about 80 degrees, repeat them three or four times, and then pull them to the desired angle. Then press the branches to the desired angle, and finally fix the branches with strips of cloth and other positions.

4. Points for attention

When pulling branches, you should be careful not to pull the branches into the back shape of a bow to avoid bad phenomena such as small waist and feet, strips and so on. For the branches with small angle, the defense line of drawing branches should be changed appropriately to avoid branch splitting. When pulling the rope, it is necessary to tie the horse buckle mainly to prevent the rope from tightening the branches, causing the branches to be hanged and dead branches and so on. Then for the main branches with thicker growth and small angle, when using the drawing rope, it is necessary to pad the waste cloth to avoid branch injury. Finally, the position of the branch should be constantly updated with the increase of the age of the tree.

The above is a brief introduction to the best time for cherry branches. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
