Pruning time

The pruning of golden marbles needs to grasp three key times to make the tree branch compact and perfect. First, before spring germination, that is, before March, pruning at this time can promote the growth of branches and sprout new buds; The second time point is to cut off the branches that grow too long in summer and maintain a reasonable proportion. Pruning is conducive to prolonging the viewing period of golden marbles and making autumn buds shrink back and compact branches. The third is to breed spring buds after the branches are thickened and cut in autumn. In autumn, pay attention to retaining the fruiting twigs so that the female plants can bear fruit

Pruning method

The pruning of golden marbles should follow the principle of thinning branches, supplemented by light pruning and the combination of wiping buds and picking hearts. In the case of vigorous growth, it is not necessary to retain the bare branches. The old and weak trees or the lack of branches in a certain part can be properly retained. After growing to a certain height, the heart can be picked as a preparatory branch. Focus on cutting off those branches that affect growth and beauty, such as cross branches, inner bore branches, overlapping branches, pest branches and so on. From fruit setting stage to young fruit expansion stage, in order to control the germination of new shoots and avoid fruit drop, the method of picking the heart can be adopted,. In that year, the buds below the fruit bearing node need to be spared, and the buds above the fruit bearing node need to leave 4 leaves to pick the heart from the fruit bearing node

In the peak growth season, pay attention to often erase the dense, overlapping, overgrown and other bad branches and buds. The strong branches should be picked in time to promote the secondary branches, so as to cultivate the tree shape and bearing mother branches. Results the retention of mother branches should be determined according to the shape and trend of basin trees. Pruning is required once a year in winter. Cutting off weak branches, pest branches, Cross branches and overlapping branches is conducive to ventilation and light transmission, promote their robust growth, and achieve flower reproduction and fruit surplus
