How to prune the branches of four-season fruit

For young trees of the four-season fruit, light pruning is the main procedure, mainly when they are potted in spring. After pruning at this time, the tree can recover quickly, which is beneficial to its growth.

Four-season fruit needs regular pruning to shape the tree. Diligent pruning can make the tree beautiful, with more branches and uniform fruit setting throughout the plant.

When pruning, generally light pruning is used for young four-season fruit trees, and short pruning is used to adjust the growth balance between the main branches. Short pruning is continued during the fruiting period, and summer shoots are removed. In autumn, measures such as ring cutting and water control are used to promote flowering of vigorous branches. During the peak fruiting period, fruiting branches are promptly cut back, and branches that block light, dead branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches are cut off.

Pruning four-season fruit yields more results

Before and after the four-season fruit enters its fruit-bearing period, in order to keep the fruit for a longer time, we also need to prune it appropriately. At this time, we mainly cut off some weaker branches, or diseased and dead branches, overgrown branches, and overly dense branches. This will avoid consuming a large amount of nutrients and affecting the appearance of the plant.

Precautions for pruning four-season fruit

When the fruits of the four-season fruit fall, it is necessary to clean up the rotten and shriveled fruits in time, and cut off the old, dead branches and diseased leaves in time. During the maintenance process, it is necessary to keep the branches and leaves in a sparse and dense manner, with strong light transmittance, and cut off all the dense branches.
