If Myrica rubra is to produce a high yield, it's not enough to just let it grow, it needs to be pruned scientifically.



Pruning time

1. Spring pruning time is March to April, this stage mainly pruning small branches, you can prune off some dead branches, dense branches, and the result of too many branches can be short-cut treatment.

2. The summer pruning time is June to July, this stage can be large branches and disturb the tree shape of the strong branches pruned away.

3. Autumn pruning time is November, this stage mainly will be some of the strong nutrient branches and autumn slightly pruned off.

4, Pruning time must be sunny morning or evening, noon temperature is too high, pruning Myrica rubra tree will lead to nutrient loss. Rain can cause bacteria to grow in manicured wounds.



Pruning method

1. The pruning methods of Myrica rubra tree include bud spreading, core picking, cutting, thinning, retracting, branch pulling, branch bracing and ring stripping, which summarize all the steps of pruning armyberry trees.

2. Budding and core-picking: mainly for young trees, which is conducive to promoting more branches of the plant, forming the crown quickly, and laying a good foundation for future increase in production, the other is carried out on the bearing tree.

3, Short cut: fruit tree short cut refers to the cutting of a part of the branches, in order to promote the renewal of branches, restore the tree, so that the decline of trees and large side branches can be renewed and rejuvenated.

4, Thinning: Myrica rubra tree weak branches, dead branches, winding branches, overgrown branches, yellow branches and insect branches all cut off, after pruning the wound spray for fruit tree disinfectant. Doing so can improve the transparency of the tree crown, which is more conducive to flowering and fruit.



5, Retraction: leave a strong side branch, and cut off the top branch. In this way, the length of the large branches can be shortened, the number of small branches on the large branches can be reduced, and the nutrients and water can be concentrated to supply the remaining branches, which is very beneficial to the rejuvenation of the tree. It can accelerate the growth of mother branches, so that the decline of trees and large lateral branches can be renewed and rejuvenated.



6, Pull branches and support branches: in order to let the crown expand outwards, to prevent the bore branches bald.



7, Ring stripping: ring stripping is ring peeling, that is, after stripping the trunk of a circle of skin, the nutrients on the trunk will not return to the roots in autumn and winter. It is beneficial to promote flower bud differentiation and increase fruit setting rate.

Precautions for pruning young trees



1, The general young tree in 30-50 set dry, spring slightly budding after 3-5 strong branches can be selected to cultivate it into the main branch, the rest for the side branches.



2. When the main branch grows to a certain extent, a strong branch can be selected as the secondary main branch 50cm away from the main branch, and the second secondary main branch needs to be on the other side of the first secondary main branch, and the side branch needs to be cultivated to quickly form the crown, which can lay the foundation for early results.



Pruning method for growing period



1, Growth period pruning can be divided into spring pruning and autumn pruning two decisions.



2, The general spring pruning in April to May, after pruning is conducive to promoting root germination and growth, so that the spring time is more delayed than the flowering and fruit time, so as to avoid the germination of new shoots and flowering and fruit competing for nutrients, so as to improve the fruit setting rate.



3, The general autumn pruning in October to November, is conducive to promoting plant flower bud differentiation, in the late germination of the long branches need to be pruned in time to avoid the loss of nutrients.



* Precautions



Myrica rubra tree in the fruiting stage should stagger the long and short branches, and keep the branches ready for germination. The long fruit branches should keep 5-8 flower buds, the medium length fruit branches should keep about 3 buds, and the short branches do not need to be left.
