After entering the spring, we need to prune the lemon trees properly. First, we need to prune the dried branches. On the one hand, it is to promote the germination of new branches, on the other hand, it is to reduce the loss of nutrients.
If the branches are damaged by diseases and insect pests, there will be a lot of germs on them, so they should be pruned as soon as possible. After pruning, we should collect the diseased branches and burn them to avoid infecting the plants again.
Some branches will grow longer due to excessive nutrition. For such branches, they should be cut short. Pruning should be carried out according to the length of branches, not too heavy.
For the branches with strong growth, weak cutting should be carried out, and only four or five full bud points should be kept. And for the growth of weak branches should be strong shear, generally keep two or three buds, so that the growth of branches more robust.
If conditions permit, it is best to disinfect the cut after trimming. If not treated, it is likely to cause some diseases
