How to prune tangerines

1. Pruning process

1. For newly planted fruit trees, the main trunk needs to be determined and cut off 35-45 cm from the ground. After it grows new shoots, you need to cut off some unhealthy and weak branches, leaving only 3-4 branches with vigorous growth.

2. When the branches have not yet grown to maturity, they need to be pinched, that is, the tender leaves on the top of the branches need to be trimmed off. This is done to control its growth height and promote stronger growth of branches.

3. When the newly sprouted branches grow to 1-3 cm, the buds need to be removed. When the buds on the branches are uneven, you should first wipe out all the buds, which can promote the germination of other buds.

2. Precautions

In addition to the above pruning methods, if there are longer branches, they should also be shortened appropriately. Generally speaking, you should trim one-third of the branches. If they grow too long, you should cut them to half their length. This can help the branches grow and mature, and is also more conducive to the sprouting of new branches.
