1、 Pruning purpose

The reason why apricot trees should be pruned is to adjust the tree potential and prolong the years of fruiting period as much as possible

2、 Pruning method

When pruning apricot trees, the density should be adjusted appropriately according to the growth trend of branches and the density of each part of the crown, so as to maintain the stability and growth state of growth

When pruning apricot trees, we should mainly do a good job in the maintenance of the skeleton, the distribution of fruiting mother branches, the control and adjustment of branch age, and adjust the growth of the tree according to the subordinate relationship of branches

Moreover, due to its long service life, its natural branches are relatively few, and the younger branches are not sensitive enough to pruning, so it is difficult to develop. Therefore, the shaping time generally takes 7 or 8 years to complete

3、 Pruning precautions

When pruning the apricot tree, it will inevitably cause wounds, which should be closed in time. If it is not closed in time, it will cause infection and make the wound difficult to heal. If it accidentally causes dry cracks and frostbite, which hinder the wound healing, it should be treated in time. Only in this way can the normal growth of fruit trees be promoted
