How does the plum leaf trim?

Trimming:

The most commonly used tree shape of Yuyemei in the garden is "natural happy shape". After grafting to survive, when the seedlings grow to more than 1 meter, they will be truncated at about 65 cm. In the following growing season, the first main branch is selected at a distance of 45 cm from the ground, the second main branch is selected 10 cm above it, and the third main branch is selected 10 cm above the second main branch. The three main branches should be evenly distributed in different directions, the distribution angle should be about 120 °, and the opening angle should be 45 °.

After the three main branches are selected, a small amount of the remaining branches can be kept as auxiliary branches, and the remaining branches can be removed. In the second year of winter pruning, three main branches can be truncated. The truncated length is 1/3 of the length of the branch. During the truncation, pay attention to the balance of the crown. Leave buds under the mouth.

In the spring of the third year, some new branches of the extended branch adjacent to the new main branch should be removed in time, and some robust branches should be kept. During winter pruning, the main branch should be shortened and some side branches should be kept. These side branches should be The direction should be the same, or all clockwise, or all counterclockwise.

The remaining side branches should also be appropriately truncated and gradually cultivated into flowering branch groups. The distance between the flowering branch groups on the trunk should not be less than 30 cm. During the cultivation of the flowering branch group, attention should be paid to the combination of long and short branches, so as to maximize the growth of flower buds.

The pruning after the formation of the canopy is mainly divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. Summer pruning is generally performed in June after flowering, mainly topping the long branches and cutting the already bloomed branches. Leave only 3 or 4 buds at the base so that the newly germinated shoots are close.
