Beauty plum winter shearing method

Light short cut

Gently cut off the top of the branch for pruning the strong branches of Meimei. This pruning method has many advantages. After removing the top tip, it is conducive to the germination of most of the semi full buds in the lower part. In this way, the branches of Meimei will have more medium and short branches in the coming year, and the flower buds will be easy to form

Medium short cut

For the rejuvenation of weak branches and the cultivation of backbone branches and extension branches of Meimei, when pruning, it can be cut to the middle or middle and upper part of the branches full of buds

Heavy truncation

Cut 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the whole branches to produce strong stimulation, which is very helpful for the renewal and strength of weak trees, old trees, weak branches and old branches

Extremely heavy short cut

Except for one or two shriveled buds left at the base of the tree strip, all the rest shall be cut off

Retraction

Subtract part of the perennial branches. When trees grow for many years and are far away from the top of branches, the base will be bare, which is called top advantage. In order to break this situation, this pruning method can be adopted to promote the rejuvenation of the base of branches

Sparse shear

The branches are subtracted at the meristem, and the objects are mainly pest branches, dry branches, Cross branches, etc., so that the branches are more evenly distributed, which is conducive to good ventilation and sufficient light. In this way, the growth and development of branches are more sound, which is of great benefit to flower bud differentiation

Tillering

The buds or root tillers growing from the base of the tree trunk and near the wound can prevent them from dispersing the nutrients of the branches and affecting the tree shape

Precautions for beauty plum winter scissors

When pruning branches, pay attention to keep the cut smooth, reduce the area of the wound and heal quickly. The cut-out of sparse branches shall be cut at the branch point, which shall be flush with the stem, and no residual piles shall be left. When selecting the scissor bud, if you want to expand the crown outward, leave the scissor bud on the outside of the branch. If you want to fill the inner chamber, the direction of the scissor bud is inward

Meimei is very resistant to pruning. In order to maintain a better tree shape, remember to prune it carefully
