Timely and proper trimming of the apple tree will not only extend the life of the tree for 20-30 years, but will significantly increase the amount of healthy fruits. Incorrect trimming will aggravate the situation and contributes to the death of the tree.
1
Carefully inspect the tree and determine the problem areas that need trimming.
2
Form the crown by a special secateur that leaves the oblique cut. Cut the first half of the apple tree - the height should be within 3 m and the width - about 2 meters. The following year, when the first half of the tree is restored, trigger the second part. A similar method will allow active substances to heal the wounds faster.
2
Clean the edges of the cuts with a sharp knife and squeeze the garden harder.
4
Thick sections after smear wrap with black polyethylene film. Such actions contribute to the active restoration of the life cycle. At the beginning of the fall, remove the film so that the tree would have time to harm in front of the winter frosts.
5
Spend a thorough trimming of each branch. If you change the shape of the crown in your plans, cut dry bumps completely, and the young - at an angle of 45 degrees, in a millimeter from the emerging kidney. A similar method will affect the appearance of a new branch.
If the tree is running, you should not drastically cut the top. Pruning need to do gradually, otherwise the wounds will become incompatible with the continuation of the life cycle, the tree will get sick and die. Spring trimming is carried out before the appearance of the kidneys.
