Basic knowledge of pruning during the growth period of green peach

Pruning during the growth period of green peach, also known as summer pruning, can reduce useless growth, not only save nutrients, but also improve the light, which lays a foundation for the formation of beautiful green peach. Different varieties, tree age, tree potential and climatic conditions will also affect the time and times of summer cutting, so it needs to be arranged according to the actual situation of the planting environment. Generally speaking, after flowering, it is pruned about 2 to 5 times in August

Pruning method of green peach during growth period

Bud removal

There will be only branches and buds on the inner chamber of the tree crown, which need to be removed in time. In addition, the dorsal buds on the backbone branches, the competitive buds under the cutting and the buds on the upper part of the branches after flowering need to be removed. Remove one of the pair of tender double shoots and erase the strong shoots of the young tree, so as to remove the useless branches and buds, ensure the healthy growth of green peach, absorb sufficient nutrients and enjoy the sunshine

Pick the heart

Removing a small segment of twig at the top of the branch can control the growth and lengthening of the top, which is conducive to ensuring the plumpness of flower buds at the lower part of the branch. Moreover, picking the heart can also promote the green peach to sprout auxiliary shoots early before the growth of new shoots, which will also make the flower buds fuller

Twist tip

Twist the upper part of the lignified and upright vigorous branch at the end of the tree tip by 180 ° and tuck it in the leaf axil of the lower part. In this way, it can change its growth direction and promote its growth into branches of flowers and fruits

Pull branch

Pull the main branch or side branch according to the angle required by the tree shape (about 80 ° is the most appropriate), and don't forget to fix it. Remember not to use too much force and pull it into a bow, otherwise it is easy to grow other branches, and you can't pull it gently. It's not good if the angle is not large enough. This method can prevent the baldness of the lower part of the branches and make the tree more relaxed
