How to grow prunes

Planting steps

Garden Construction

Before planting, determine the spacing between the plums. A distance of about 2 meters x 3 meters is best so that they do not compete with each other for nutrients. Sunlight will also be more evenly distributed.

Plastic surgery

a. Natural open heart shape: Cut off the damaged branches, small branches that have not fully grown, and unnecessary buds. This operation is easy to understand. If the diseased plants are not removed, it will easily affect the surrounding areas. Too many plants in too dense an area will also affect the distribution of nutrients. At the same time, you can decide how long to cut it to based on the variety you plant. There is no strict requirement for this.

b. Evacuate and layer heart shape: Make the whole tree into a semicircular shape, which not only has good air circulation effect, but also has a long survival time. High output, ideal load, relatively fast forming, early result, and simple shaping. The entire tree can have 5 to 6 main branches, the central trunk can be cut off, and the tree can be managed in layers. This is also a more common choice.

c. Multiple heart-shaped main branches: can prevent and reduce cracking, and the fruits will no longer be flat. The tree itself is stronger and lives longer. The three main branches can be staggered and arranged to echo the main trunk. They can bear the load very well and are not easy to split. The main trunk extends naturally outward, with two side branches attached to both sides, making the primary and secondary branches very obvious.

Artificial pollination

This method is to spread the pollen of the plant yourself, which can increase the fruit quantity and reduce physiological fruit drop. During the flowering period, pollen is collected manually and pollinated.

The above content can give friends a preliminary understanding of prunes. No matter what plant you plant, you must plant it carefully, customize a simple management method, and understand its habits. I believe that difficult planting will become simple.

Precautions

During this period, we must also pay attention to the control of water and fertilizer. If this aspect is not well grasped, no matter how good the preparation work is, it will be wasted.
