1、 Pruning time

Apple trees grow slowly and are not easy to grow new branches, especially after fruiting. Therefore, special attention should be paid to pruning, preferably after falling leaves in winter and before germination in spring. At this time, it will not affect its winter and germination in the coming year. On the contrary, it can keep the branches warm during winter, which is beneficial to winter and promote the differentiation of branches and buds

2、 Pruning method

When pruning, the pruning method should be changed according to the growth years of fruit trees. If the young branches just planted grow vigorously, they can be pruned appropriately. Cut the long branches short to save nutrients and promote the growth of main branches. If the fruit tree has been planted for a long time and has been grown for a long time, cut the over dense branches, dead branches and sick branches, and leave more side branches, so as to adjust the column shape. In addition, some main branches should be trimmed by ring cutting, which can control the looseness of nutrients and make them bloom more

If some fruit trees are not growing well, they should be re sheared to stimulate their growth and gradually restore their growth. When pruning, start from the full leaf buds, leave more side branches on both sides and less back branches. Keep more fruits on big branches and less on small branches

3、 Precautions

If you want fruit trees to produce more and bigger fruits, it is not enough to prune them only in winter, but also comb them in time when they bear fruit. Remove the long and dense fruits, otherwise it will affect the growth, resulting in most of the fruits are relatively small, which will reduce the yield
