Toona sinensis tree pruning time

Toona sinensis is a common plant in my country. It is a dicotyledonous vegetable and has a relatively wide distribution range. It is a deciduous tree and a dioecious plant. Most of the toona sinensis are pruned in spring, which can be done simultaneously with the harvesting of toon buds.

How to prune Chinese toon trees

1. Topping

When the toon tree grows to a certain size, the tender shoots need to be picked off. Most of the time, we do this in spring. When it grows to a certain height, we can break off its branches and buds to prevent it from growing too high and making it inconvenient for us to pick.

2. Remove the buds

After pinching, it is necessary to remove the buds. This work needs to be done under sterile conditions to avoid adverse effects on its growth. It can be done with gloves.

3. Long branches

When pruning, you need to trim off the longer branches. Excessively long branches will affect the lighting time of the toon tree. When pruning, try to control the length to about half a meter. Too long will have a bad effect.

Precautions for pruning Chinese toon trees

When pruning the Chinese toon tree, pay attention to the pruning time. Inappropriate time will cause damage to it. Generally, it is best to prune it after the Qingming Festival, but not too late, as pruning it too late will have a bad effect on its branches.
