Pruning young trees (before fruiting) - video
Pruning is one of the most important ways to maintain and improve the quality of fruit trees. Pruning is carried out in spring, summer and autumn in order to properly form the crown, stimulate the growth and fruiting of trees, remove excess, broken and diseased branches.
Systematic pruning and shaping of young trees makes it possible to grow trees of the right size with a strong trunk, correct skeleton and healthy fruits.
The weak annual growth of the tree requires more pruning, and sometimes cutting one or more large branches from the crown. After pruning, wounds are treated with garden varnish according to the rules for faster healing and better regeneration of wood.
The video presented tells how to properly prune young trees in early spring before fruiting and why this should be done. In the video, an experienced gardener clearly demonstrates the technique of post-plant pruning, which makes it possible to improve tree nutrition and correct its structure in a timely manner.
It has been scientifically proven that regular competent pruning of fruit trees significantly increases yields, rejuvenates and heals the plant itself, and also contributes to its best growth and development.
Spring work on pruning trees in the garden is best done at the end of frost and before flowering - in March or April.
