1. Benefits of summer pruning

Pruning in summer can inhibit the overgrowth of newly grown branches and buds and reduce the consumption of nutrition. The environment in summer is characterized by muggy and high temperature. At this time, pruning can increase its ventilation effect and light transmittance, and greatly improve the quality and yield of fruits. Although peach trees are pruned about three to five times a year, they are concentrated from May to August. It's early May. So pruning at this time is also very important

2. Summer pruning method

① Wiping buds: mainly remove the buds that are too dense and grow in an improper position. At the same time, when the new shoots grow to 5cm to 6cm, the useless shoots should also be removed

② Picking the heart: it is mainly to pick the heart of young peach trees. If the peach trees have grown, it is not necessary to pick the heart

③ Twirling: this method can control the growth of branches and shoots to be too long, and adjust the tree posture at the same time. Select the branches with strong growth and vertical length between 25 cm and 30 cm to twist, and then make them into a drooping shape like willows. The duration of the survey is generally from May to June

④ Sparse branches: when the branches grow to 30 cm long, you can select the thick, strong and vigorous ones, keep them, and trim others appropriately. At this time, pest branches, bare branches and thin branches can all be trimmed off
