Bergamot needs pruning to promote branching

When cultivating bergamot, in order to ensure its high yield, it is necessary to adjust the tree shape and flowering and fruiting branches of bergamot, so it needs to be trimmed in time, so that it can divide more branches and receive more fruits
when the plants of bergamot grow, they need to be pinched. Generally, 15cm-20cm below the trunk and 3-5 axillary buds are reserved to germinate new branches. When the new branches grow to about 10cm, they can be pinched, so as to expand the crown, form a certain tree shape and enter the fruiting period in advance

In the flowering and fruiting period of bergamot, it is necessary to prune it. The flowering period is mainly to remove the flower buds. The fruiting period mainly refers to the subtraction of the poorly growing branches and weak branches, disease and dead branches after the fruit is harvested, so as to reduce the consumption of nutrients and make good results in the coming year

Flowering period maintenance of bergamot

If you want Bergamot to bear more fruits, first of all, the maintenance of flowering period is essential, because if you bloom well, you will have the opportunity to bear more fruits

In the flowering period of bergamot, the main maintenance work is picking flowers and fertilizing

First of all, picking flowers is to pick off the redundant flowers and early-born male flowers of bergamot at the time of flowering, and only keep 1-2 flowers on each branch. Generally, bergamot blooms in March every year, and it is necessary to pick flowers during the flowering period, because it is generally better to keep 1-2 fruits on one branch, so when you keep flowers, only 2-3 fruits are kept, and the rest are picked

Fertilization is mainly to spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the leaves, and borax should be sprayed during the full flowering period, which can promote the photosynthesis of leaves, promote the accumulation of nutrients and increase the yield
