1, centering
Pepper trees should do a good job of centering during the growth period, and remove the young parts of the top in a timely manner before its new growth. Mainly to promote the second growth of branches, accelerate the formation of the crown. Timely centering in mid-May is conducive to flower bud differentiation. Then in the pepper tree is not yet physiological fruit drop before centering is conducive to pollination, and is conducive to the expansion of pepper fruit, promote growth, early maturity time. It can also inhibit the growth of the branches, to ensure that the branches of the young shoots robust growth.
2, thinning
Thinning is mainly thinning the base of the pepper tree branches, the main thinning parts of the pepper tree for the old and weak, dead, overlapping and too long and too dense pests and diseases. Thinning is conducive to reducing nutrient consumption, improve permeability, enhance the growth capacity of pepper tree bore branches, promote photosynthesis and flower bud differentiation. Thinning at the time of the big year can also prevent the phenomenon of large and small pepper trees. Thinning the branches of the larger, not all at once, to prevent the wound is too large, reduce the growth of pepper trees. And it will also lead to infection, triggering a variety of pests and diseases, so that the branches grow in vain.
3, wounding
Wounding is mainly to reduce the growth of the top branches, promote the growth of the lower and inner branches, is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds, improve the flowering and fruiting rate. In the spring before the pepper tree has not yet germinated, it is necessary to use the method of ring cutting in the upper and lower parts of the branches or young shoots to cut them to the cortical layer. This effectively hinders the transport of nutrients and water from the lower part, which facilitates the growth of buds and the formation of robust branches. The wounding branch has many methods such as twisting, twisting and so on, the main purpose is to control the downward transportation of nutrients, improve the fruit set rate, and promote the growth of fruit.
4, curved branch
Curved branch is mainly to change the growth of horizontal and sagging growth of branches found, can reduce the growth rate of the top branches. Restriction of nutrients and water uniformity, to prevent excessive branch growth, reduce the growth of the top branches. This ensures that nutrients and water are concentrated in the robust fruit-bearing branches, preventing uneven distribution of nutrients and reducing the rate of flowering and fruiting. And can effectively reduce the phenomenon of branch growth, to prevent the consumption of too much nutrients, increase the cost of planting.

Also appropriate pruning, in the pepper tree grows to a certain age, will be senescence
