Walnut tree pruning techniques

1. Pruning time

Walnut tree pruning should generally be done during the growing season. Try not to prune at other times. If you prune during the dormant period, it will accelerate the loss of water and nutrients, thereby accelerating its death.

2. Pruning techniques

When pruning a walnut tree, you should cut off part of the annual branches, then cut off the extension branches of the side branches, cut off part of the perennial branches, and then prune the branches that are too dense.

You can prune from the base of the branches, and when long branches sprout, cut them off in time. In addition, all crossed and overlapping branches should be cut off. Some branches that grow very thin due to insufficient light should also be pruned.
