It is best to prune potted apple trees from defoliation in winter to germination in spring. Pruning at this time is beneficial, and will not affect the germination of branches, nor will it affect the flowering and fruiting. Use special tools when trimming, and trim smoothly.

After pruning, potted apple trees can increase ventilation and sunshine, make them grow well, and also help them blossom and bear fruit, because cutting off some useless branches can make nutrients more concentrated and bear more fruits.

Pruning method of potted apple trees

1, equipment preparation

Prepare special scissors before pruning potted apple trees. If the tree is big, you can use a small saw, and then prepare diluted disinfectant, usually carbendazim or potassium permanganate and some plant ash. After that, these tools should be disinfected.

Step 2 add decoration

Pruning potted apple trees is different from pruning grape apple trees. Generally, it is only necessary to cut off some cross branches, overlapping branches, clustered branches, horizontal branches and messy branches that do not conform to the shape. If there are dead branches and diseased branches, they should be cut off in time and the incision should be smooth.

3. Maintenance after cutting

After pruning potted apple trees, the incision should be thoroughly disinfected. If it is trimmed with a small saw, it should also be leveled with a knife, then coated with disinfectant, and then coated with plant ash.
