Chestnut trees are very resistant to pruning and can be pruned all year round. It is suitable for pruning in winter, increasing ventilation and light transmission, enhancing photosynthetic intensity, accumulating more nutrients, further enriching the primordia of male flowers in buds, helping them to germinate better and increasing the number of female flowers, thus increasing and stabilizing the number of fruiting branches and realizing high and stable yield.

Pruning effect of chestnut tree

Pruning chestnut trees can reduce the number of big branches, control the crown, increase and stabilize the number of fruiting branches, and make them bear fruit, which can overcome the phenomenon of big and small years and realize high and stable yield.

Pruning time of chestnut tree

Chestnut trees are very resistant to pruning, and can be pruned all year round. Depending on the growth situation, different seasons have different emphases.

Pruning method of chestnut tree

Pruning chestnut trees is the most important thing, which is divided into three steps:

The first step is to build the whole skeleton, top and core, dwarf and reduce the height of chestnut trees;

The second step is to provide enough light, and the amount of light on chestnut trees is very important to the results;

The third step is to keep the fruitful branches.

Matters needing attention in pruning chestnut trees

1. Chestnut trees are mainly pruned during winter dormancy. At this time, plants grow slowly, and nutrients are transported and stored by branches, leaves and roots. After entering spring, tree body fluids begin to flow. Pruning too early or too late is not suitable, which will affect its normal growth.

2. Pruning chestnut trees in winter can increase ventilation and light transmission, enhance photosynthetic intensity, accumulate more nutrients, further enrich the primordia of male flowers in buds, help them germinate better and increase the number of female flowers.
