Early sapling: take the round tree shape as the goal, make the plant compact but not affect the ventilation and light transmission; when planting, prune at the place 40-50cm away from the ground, mainly for topping; when the main branch is 30-40cm long, remove the center, and keep 2-3 new buds for each branch. Result period: light pruning is needed, mainly pruning the branches with excessive length, and the branches with weak growth and serious diseases and insect pests.

Shaping of early saplings

The aim of shaping is to form a round tree, and make the whole plant compact without affecting ventilation and light transmission. When the plants are planted, they are pruned at a distance of 40 cm to 50 cm from the ground. In fact, they are mainly topping. When the new shoots grow out, only 3 to 4 roots need to be left, and they are evenly distributed on the trunk. When the main branch grows to 30 cm to 40 cm long, it can be removed. Only 2 to 3 new buds need to be kept for each branch. If there are weak rising branches, or too thin branches, you can use other wood or rope to shape the period, to avoid it hanging down.

Trim of result period

At the end of the result stage, there is no need to operate on such a large scale. At this time, light pruning should be done. The branches in the middle and lower parts should not be pruned as much as possible, mainly pruning the branches that are too long. The rise of this branch is very vigorous, but its result is very small, and it will damage the overall tree shape, and absorb most nutrients at the same time. The branches with weak rise and serious diseases and insect pests should also be pruned at this time

Sometimes in order to improve the quality and taste of the fruit, you can also pick flowers at the right time. Although this reduces the fruit output, it can ensure that the remaining fruit taste will be more delicious.
