1. Pruning

When pruning young trees, kumquat mainly needs light pruning. Generally, it only needs to prune long branches, dead branches and sick and weak branches

When pruning the aged branches of kumquat, the aged branches on the outside of the crown need to be cut off. These old branches have lost the ability to bear fruit and can be cut off from the base

When pruning the green branches of kumquat, it is generally necessary to leave the strong and eliminate the weak. 2-3 branches and buds will grow at the same apex, which can be thinned appropriately

When pruning the bare branches of kumquat, the bare branches need to be cut off, because the bare branches are too long, which will not only affect the growth of other sparse branches, but also the lower part of the bare branches themselves, which are easy to grow into broomsticks. Therefore, when pruning, it can generally be cut from the base

Kumquat prunes fruit bearing branches, generally pruning dense branches and weak flower branches

Prune the dead and diseased branches of Kumquat from the base

2. Reshaping

Kumquat is usually pruned and dried when the seedlings of Kumquat are not pruned. Prune the seedlings at the height of 30cm, keep 4 to 5 branches as the main branches, and the rest can be cut off. After the branch grows, the second and third pruning can be carried out

For the skew phenomenon of Kumquat tree shape, you can adjust the kumquat tree shape by pulling a rope or hanging a stone to make it grow more orderly and round and full
