Six taboos in citrus pruning

1. There are many things to pay attention to when pruning citrus. The most important point is to open the light path so that the sunlight can shine into the inside of the crown. If the branches below cannot receive sunlight, it will affect the fruiting rate of the citrus. Therefore, when pruning citrus, be sure to ensure that every branch can see the light.

2. When pruning citrus, avoid uneven pruning. When pruning this kind of plant, you must balance it and prune it symmetrically. This will allow the entire fruit tree to maintain a strong growth trend, keep its vitality, and produce more and better quality citrus.

3. When pruning citrus, remember to leave slanted stubble. Such slanted stubble will not heal easily and will easily cause diseases. It will also cause water loss in the citrus tree. If it comes into contact with rain, it will rot quickly, causing nutrient loss in the citrus tree and affecting its normal growth. The best practice is to avoid slanted stubble and apply pruning oil after pruning.

4. The biggest taboo is not to disinfect citrus trees in time after pruning. Many people will cut off all the bark, necrotic tissue and diseased branches when pruning citrus trees in winter. At this time, the cut parts must be taken out of the orchard and destroyed or buried in time, and then the fruit trees must be sprayed with 13~5 degrees of lime sulfur. Only in this way can the citrus trees be protected and have vigorous vitality in the coming year.
