Pruning time for yellow fruit trees

Pruning of yellow fruit trees is usually done in the early morning or evening to avoid strong light exposure. The first pruning is mainly done in the young period to control the overall growth trend of the tree. It is then pruned again two weeks before release to promote the sprouting of branches. The rest is the shaping pruning of the overall crown in autumn to make it more beautiful.

How to prune yellow fruit trees

1. Control the slightest effect

The germination ability of kumquat trees is relatively strong. They can produce four shoots every year: spring shoots, summer shoots, early autumn shoots and late autumn shoots. If the new shoots grow vigorously, it is necessary to take measures to control the shoots in time to promote fruit growth and increase the yield of kumquat fruits. Pruning should be carried out about two weeks before the shoots are released to promote the germination of branches.

2. Overall pruning

After all the fruits of the kumquat tree are picked, the tree will enter a long period of rest. At this time, the tree needs to be thoroughly pruned, cutting off all branches with remaining fruits and old branches that have bloomed, as well as cross branches, overlapping branches and other branches that affect the overall shape, in preparation for the next flowering.
