1、 Why should peach trees be pruned

In fact, not only peach trees, but also any trees need pruning and care, so that they can grow more luxuriant branches and leaves, and give people a beautiful feeling, fresh and handsome. In addition, peach trees will not only blossom but also bear fruit, so regular pruning is not only aesthetic care, but also promote the yield of peach trees. Why not? Therefore, it is necessary to prune regularly, and the pruning methods used by trees of different ages are also different. Next, we will discuss how to prune peach trees of three tree ages

2、 Precautions for pruning peach trees

The pruning of peach trees in winter is mainly carried out at the beginning of the next year. The pruned trees have different ages and different methods. They are mainly divided into three kinds of pruning of peach trees. They are: young tree stage, early fruit stage and mature tree stage

Pruning of young trees: the form is to maintain the dominant position of the central trunk. The main branches with too thick roots need to be cut off, and the other branches remain. In the young tree period, the branches are relatively fragile. It is more appropriate to keep the main branches as far as possible and then cut off all complex and redundant branches

The pruning in the initial fruiting period can continue the previous pruning methods, and pay attention to the comprehensive application of measures such as branch pulling, budding and ring cutting. After determining the height of the peach tree to be pruned, it is best to be about 60-70cm. After that, after considering various external factors such as variety characteristics, the number of main branches and stems can be selected, and the number can be further determined according to the shape of the tree. According to different choices of peach trees, the general number is 3, which is more standard

The pruning of mature peach trees is more complex, and the pruning forms are also divided into many kinds. First, we should comprehensively observe and analyze the whole tree, find out the main problems affecting the whole and tree body, find out what redundant branches need to be cut, and then adjust the main branches, cut off the more complicated secondary stems, keep the trunk, don't let the complicated secondary stems pile up on the trunk, keep the whole and prune the part
