If you want cherry trees to bear fruit, you need to adopt different pruning methods in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The specific pruning method is as follows:

1, spring pruning

Spring pruning is mainly to wipe off the newly sprouted branches and flower buds of cherry trees, and keep a small number of stout new buds for cultivating new fruiting mother branches or spare branches. Secondly, in order to reduce nutrient consumption, it is necessary to choose a reasonable heart. Pruning should be as light as possible to avoid hurting cherry trees and affecting fruit yield.

2, summer pruning

Twisting the top of the newly grown cherry tree can effectively use the space and increase the number of fruiting mother branches without affecting the permeability of the crown. At the same time, scientific pruning is needed to shorten some branches on the main branches of cherry trees and cultivate small and medium-sized fruit branches.

3, autumn pruning

After entering September, in order to avoid nutrient consumption, it is necessary to prune the tender leaves of the branches and leaves of that year, which can promote the growth of fruiting mother branches and the differentiation of flower buds. Secondly, the branches and leaves that grow too densely should be sparse to enhance the permeability of the crown. After pruning, take preventive measures and spray healing chemicals to avoid infection.

4, winter pruning

First of all, some branches and leaves of cherry trees should be truncated, which can enhance the growth ability of new branches. Secondly, proper truncation and pruning of strong fruiting mother branches can increase the number of fruiting branches and control the growth of new branches. Re-pruning and retraction pruning when necessary can prevent cherry trees from aging.

Soil management of cherry trees

Deep ploughing in winter: from late autumn to the following spring, especially in late autumn, often combined with fertilization before winter. Generally, the depth is about 20 cm, which is deeper among trees and shallower under the crown. Flat land and gentle slope can be fully ploughed; Cherry orchard with large slope and neat row spacing can be ploughed in strips; Cave farming with irregular row spacing and steep slope can be carried out. Pay attention to soil and water conservation when plowing in mountain gardens.

Intertillage weeding: generally carried out after irrigation or rain. The frequency of intertillage weeding is to keep the soil loose and weed-free. Weeding in intertillage should be done 1 time every month from May to July, and the appropriate depth is 10 cm.

Reasonable Intercropping: During the period of young trees in cherry orchard, there is a big gap in the garden. intercropping crops can make full use of soil fertility and light energy to improve soil fertility and increase income. Dwarf crops are suitable for intercropping crops, such as beans, potatoes and peanuts.
