Steps and methods of tree pruning and shaping 1, topping.
The first step of tree shaping and pruning is to pick the core and top it. In the early stage of growth, new buds will grow at the top of the tree. Removing the sprouted buds can not only control the height of the tree, but also adjust the growth direction of the crown, so as to reserve sufficient nutrients for the tree and make it grow healthily.
Step 2 peel the buds
The second step of tree pruning is to peel off the buds. When plants grow vigorously, many buds grow at the same time. During this period, it is necessary to peel off the dense and weak buds on the same branch and concentrate the nutrients on the vigorous branches, which is beneficial to the vigorous growth of the plants in the next year.
3. Land to the tiller
The third step of tree pruning is to remove tillers, select special pruning shears, and cut off useless buds growing at the base of trunk and roots growing near roots. Tillering as early as possible can reduce nutrient consumption, prevent the appearance of new buds from affecting plant morphology, prune lignified roots and prevent bark from tearing.
4, short cut pruning
The fourth step of tree pruning is short pruning, which means cutting off branches that are too long and too long. According to the degree of pruning, it can be divided into light pruning, heavy pruning and extremely heavy pruning. Light pruning is the main method for new branches and heavy pruning for perennial branches. Short pruning promotes lateral bud germination.
5. Dense branches
The last step of tree pruning is thinning branches, mainly cutting off redundant, dry, weak branches on the branches and thinning dense branches inside the crown, so that the branches are evenly distributed, the air permeability and light transmittance of the crown are increased, which is beneficial to the differentiation of flower buds.
