To collect a rich harvest and be proud of a blooming healthy garden, it is necessary to regularly spend the spring and autumn trimming of trees. After acquaintance with the main information, you can easily turn even the oldest tree into the younger, and getting fruits from him for the next year!
How to crop trees
The formation of the crown begins from the moment of planting a seedling and continues throughout his life. Cardinal transformation, deep and abundant sections, experienced gardeners are recommended to conduct early spring, as soon as the temperature becomes above the zero mark. As a rule, this period falls at the end of February or at the beginning of March. At this time, the trees are in the "winter hibernation" and easily survive open sections when active sloping in the branches will begin.
Autumn pruning is permissible only in the southern regions with warm winters. In other areas, it is recommended to be carried out exclusively in sanitary purposes - remove old, interfering and sick sprigs. Consider on the examples how to crop different fruit crops.
How to cut an apple tree
The branches of the ranets and apple trees are taken in spring and autumn. Summer removal occurs in the most emergency cases, for example, if the fruits lack sunlight due to too thickened crown.
- Just planted a tree need to trim until 5 kidneys. The shortened stamp will reduce the branches above the ground level, forms the bookmark of the correct crown, and the root system of the seedling will be in growth faster.
- The following removal is carried out exactly in a year, in spring. By this time, 5-6 major strong branches should be left from the trunk, it is impossible to disturb them. Trim follow the side shoots, removing one by one from each one quarter. (Fig.2)
The next 3-5 years, the developing seedling of gardeners is recommended not to touch, with the exception of the cutting of patients and dried branches.
How to trim a pear
It is much more complicated to plant, grow and care for a pear tree than behind an apple culture. In winter, the southern plant often hesitates, and even dies at all under the action of harsh frosts, it is for this reason to form a crown and remove old branches safer the whole early spring.
- For the first time, you need to remove exactly half all thin, weak branches, leaving only straight and strong, which will be able to withstand the abundant harvest of the fruit tree.
- Every year after harvesting, the tree is carefully examined for the presence of dry and weak branches and, if necessary, is trimmed.
- The crown is formed early in the spring - you need to trim the shoots of last year by one third.
To rejuvenate an old, running tree and increase yields, you need to cut the top of the branches to the point of growth of the side, and reduce the volume of skeletal branches twice.
How to crop cherry
Cherry and cherry do not need an annual trimming. But it should be understood that the more the tree thickened, the greater the chances of the fact that the fruit kidneys will move to the ends of the branches, and the gardener will receive a substantially low harvest. Sanitary trimming is taken in the fall, after full of leaves.
- To begin with, swift the crown, give her more light and air.
- Remove dry and sick branches, if there are such.
- Then remove branches that interfere with each other and intertwined with each other. The perfect distance between the branches should be 10-15 cm.
- You also need to dig up the prompt that weakens the adult tree and serves as an excellent shelter for winter hibernation of pests and insects.
Annual seedlings in the winter are not cut off, as they still do not have so much strength to have time to recover before the first frost.
How to trim the plum
Some plum varieties begin to give the fruits from three years. However, it is not always possible to get a full-fledged good harvest. One of the reasons for the lack of fruits becomes an overly thickened crown. The plum branches grow very quickly, so specialists advise special attention to their formation.
- When planting a tree of early spring, trimming is carried out immediately to 5-6 kidneys. A stamp from the ground before the end should be no more than 40 cm.
- For the first time, after landing, it is necessary to regulate the size of the side branches. If their length is more than 60 cm, weochable by one third.
- The branches that grow under an acute angle to the trunk must necessarily dilute to the sides, hooking a small cargo to the rope.
- Put the subsequent trimming systematically - remove curves, broken, weak and sore branches.
With the right approach, the crown should form in the form of a bowl. Then the light will fall on every kidney, and the plum will thank you with a good harvest.
How to crop other garden trees
For sea buckthorn, Alychi, Irgi, honeysuckle, quince, viburnum, etc. Rules and deadlines for the formation of a beautiful crown are no different from those described above in the article. The principle is one - you need to remove old branches, patients and those that interfere with each other. You can perform a cut in two ways:
- The cut on the ring - the branch is removed by a saw or a sharp knife along the round edge of the branch. At the end, there should be a beautiful smooth sleep, which should be treated with a garden boiler.
- A cut on the kidney - helps to change the growth of the branches in the direction you need. For this spring, the branch is removed over the desired kidney, leaving the pasteen no more than 2 mm.
To rejuvenate an old tree - it is necessary to cut off not only the crown, but also the roots. From the other side with which you spend the trimming of the branches, you need to dig a large trench of 70 to 70. There are laying mineral and organic fertilizers, after which falling off the ground back. Thanks to this method, you chop old roots, at the same time rejuvenate and adopt the tree.
