Short cut

A short cut is to cut off part of an annual branch. Determine the degree of short cutting according to the actual branch thickness, length, variety, tree potential and other factors. Short cutting of young apricot trees can promote bud germination and produce 2-3 long branches, which can quickly expand the crown and increase the number of branches and leaves and fruit bearing parts; Some short fruit branches can be promoted on the retained middle and lower branches, which can be used for fruit bearing in the second year; Short cutting of trees in full fruit stage can maintain strong tree potential and stabilize fruit bearing parts, which is conducive to maintaining stable yield; Short cutting of trees in aging period can promote their renewal and restore their growth

Retraction

Retraction is to shorten the perennial branches of apricot trees to the base of perennial branches or annual branches. The effect of retraction is mainly to weaken and control the growth of mother branches on inappropriate parts, which is conducive to the growth of Apricot Branches in the later stage. At the same time, it can also change the extension direction and angle of extension branches

Sparse shear

Thinning is to cut off the branches of the apricot tree from the base. The main objects of thinning are the competitive branches on the back, the over dense branches in the middle and upper part of the crown, the crossed branches, the whorled branches near the shear opening and the adjacent branches; At the same time, it can also inhibit the front and promote the rear, and improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions in the tree crown

Slow release

Ease is not cut. It can slow down the growth of more branches and fruit in the upper part of the apricot tree, so as to increase the yield of more branches and fruit< span>
