Pruning period spring early February to mid-March; summer and fall early July to mid-August.

The height of the tree in the fruiting season is generally controlled at less than 250cm, the crown is open, the periphery is concave and convex, the branch tips grow robustly, the thickness of the green leaf layer should be more than 100cm, ventilation and light, three-dimensional results. Control of inter-row crossing, canopy coverage of 75% to 85%. Pruning according to the tree, deletion of dense stay sparse, weak stay strong; cut on the left, cut outside to stay inside; more flowers tree more cut, less flowers tree light pruning.

Citrus trees from the fruiting period into the senescence after the nutrient growth is extremely weak, the senescence of the increase in the number of branches, yield decline. Renewal pruning is to cut off the senescent part of the tree, and promote the formation of a new canopy, in order to improve the production capacity of the old tree. Generally in addition to crown renewal, should be combined with the root system renewal, and fertilization to promote its growth.

Potted orange in the spring before the sprouting, must be strength pruning, the first to remove dead branches, disease branches, long branches, inward branches, cross branches, sprouting branches. The strong branches of the weak cut, stay 4, 5 full buds; weak branches of the strong cut, stay 2, 3 buds, prompting each branch to send more robust spring tips.
