Gently cut off the top of the branches for pruning the strong branches of Prunus mume. With this pruning method, there are many advantages, and then remove the top tip, which is conducive to the germination of most of the lower half full buds, so that the branches of Prunus mume will be able to have more short and medium branches, and flower buds will be easy to form.
For the rejuvenation of weak branches and the cultivation of backbone branches and extension branches, when pruning, you can cut to the middle or upper part of branches full of buds.
Cut 2 /3 to 3 /4 of the whole branches to produce strong stimulation, which is very helpful for the regeneration and strength of weak trees, old trees, weak branches and old branches.
Except for leaving 1 or 2 withered buds at the base of the tree, all the rest will be cut off.
Subtract part of the perennial branches. When the tree grows for many years, it is far from the top of the branch, and the base will be bare. This is called the top advantage. In order to break this situation, we can use this pruning method to promote the rejuvenation of the base of the branch.
In the meristem, the branches will be subtracted, the object is mainly disease and insect branches, dry and withered branches, Cross branches, etc., so that the branches are more evenly distributed, which is conducive to good ventilation and sufficient light, so that the growth and development of branches are more sound, which is of great benefit to flower bud differentiation.
Put the buds or roots near the base of the trunk and the wound of the tree to prevent them from dispersing the nutrients of the branches and affecting the tree shape.
When pruning branches, it is necessary to keep the cut smooth, reduce the area of the wound and heal quickly. The cut of the thinning branch shall be cut off at the branch point, flush with the trunk, and no stump shall be left. When choosing the cutting bud, if you want to expand the crown outwards, leave the cutting bud on the outside of the branch. If you want to fill the bore, the cutting bud will face inwards.
Meimeimei is very resistant to pruning. In order to keep a better tree shape, remember to prune it carefully.
