The dragon fruit pruning methods are as follows: 1. Young tree pruning
Young tree pruning is based on shaping, the use of centering, to promote branching. Dragon fruit seedlings grow to more than the cement column, through the plucking of its main trunk sprouting several branches, prompting the formation of fruiting branches as soon as possible. In March each year, ready to enter the flower bud differentiation period, in order to promote the old branches no longer futile, should remove all the shoots, so that the nutrient accumulation storage in the old branches and trunk of the leaf flesh, the trunk leaf flesh in a short period of time quickly thickened, the color turned dark, conducive to flowering.
2. Adult tree pruning
Into the full production period of dragon fruit, at the end of the season, should be all ever fruit and fruit traction and the surface of the vertical old branches cut off. Because these old branches are less sunlight irradiation, the second is the result of nutrient consumption is too large, is not conducive to the accumulation of nutrients and the formation of the next round of fruiting mother branch. Cut the old branches sprouted after the new branches, branches more fat, and straight to the sky, fully accept the sun, flowers and fruit quality are better than the old branches. In the flowering and fruiting period, you can cut off the excess nutrient branches to reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote sunlight exposure.
For your reference! The shortcomings please Mr. Gao pointed out evaluation!
Happy National Day!
