Cherry Tree Management Techniques Cherry trees in the peak fruiting period are an important stage in cherry planting, when the cherry trees have grown and entered a stable production period. In order to maintain the health and yield of cherry trees, pruning is very important. Proper pruning can promote the growth and flowering of cherry trees, improving yield and quality. Here are some tips and points for pruning cherry trees during the full fruiting period: 1. Pruning timeThe best time to prune cherry trees is in winter, when the cherry trees are in the dormant period. Pruning can avoid wound infection and benefit the health of the tree.
Second, the pruning method.
1.Stubbing: Cutting off a portion of an annual shoot to promote the germination of side branches. Pay attention to the angle and position of the cut when stubbing, the oblique cutting of the cut can increase the germination angle, and the flat cut can keep the branch straight.
2.Thinning pruning: Branches are cut off from the base to reduce the number of branches and increase the ventilation and light transmission of the tree. For over-dense, crossed, overlapping branches should be thinned in time to keep the tree structure good.
3.Pruning: Cutting off a portion of a perennial shoot to renew the shoot and promote the growth of new shoots. When pruning, choose healthy, vigorous branches and avoid cutting too many branches.
4.Pulling branches: Changing the direction and angle of growth of the branches by pulling the branches to promote flowering and fruiting. When pulling branches, it is necessary to choose the appropriate time and angle to avoid excessive branch pulling and branch breakage.
3. Pruning principle.
1.Control the height of the tree: keep the height of the tree body appropriate, avoid too high or too low, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission and picking. Generally speaking, the height of cherry trees should be controlled at 2About 5-3 meters.
2.Balance the tree potential: Keep the growth of the tree in a balanced manner, and avoid situations where one side is too strong and the other side is too weak. When pruning, pay attention to the balance of the tree, so that all parts of the tree grow in harmony.
3.Promote flowering and fruiting: When pruning, appropriate branches should be selected for shortening, branch pulling, etc., to promote flowering and fruiting. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining an appropriate proportion of branches and leaves, which is conducive to photosynthesis.
4. Precautions.
1.Avoid over-pruning: Pruning should be carried out reasonably according to the structure and growth of the tree to avoid over-pruning causing injury or stunting the growth of the tree.
2.Pay attention to the disinfection of pruning tools: Use sharp tools when pruning and disinfect them before use to avoid the spread of pests and diseases.
3.Strengthen fertilizer and water management: After pruning, fertilizer and watering should be applied in time to promote the vegetative growth and flowering and fruiting of the tree. At the same time, fertilizer and water management measures should be reasonably adjusted according to the growth of the tree.
In conclusion, cherry trees at the peak of their fruiting season need to be pruned properly to maintain health and yield. In the pruning process, certain principles and methods should be followed, and reasonable pruning should be carried out according to the growth and needs of the tree, so as to improve the yield and quality and promote the sustainable development of the cherry industry.
