Pepper pruning role
Pepper can be strong pruning, which can make the fall twitching robust, grow more fruiting branches, to achieve the purpose of high-yield and high-quality, the overall plant type will also be more beautiful.
Pepper pruning time
Pepper tree varieties, age, tree different, then pruning methods are also different, pay attention to the combination of thinning and shrinking, go weak and stay strong, thinning the weak buds to stay strong buds, generally do not make a short cut, the young and vigorous fruit trees can be pruned in the fall, the weak tree and old tree pruning in the spring.
