Help your orchard: pruning is achieved by a balance between the growth and fertility fruit trees and prevents wear of nutrients!
Green pruning is a complement to the previous pruning on mature (winter pruning). Given the stage of development of fruit trees, are different - pruning of young trees during the formation of the cultivation form and pruning of older trees in full productivity.
When pruning green pome and stone types and varieties of fruit trees, the most applicable - wrapping, bending, complete removal, partial defloration. Green pruning is performed during the summer months (June July), typically by bending of shoots growing from the liquid (particularly dense and extra shoots).
Wrapping accelerates start fruiting, and bent branches and annual shoots were regularly give birth. Young and future skeletal branches should weigh down so that they take almost horizontal position to nutrients (nitrogen, carbohydrates, phytohormones) evenly distributed along the branches and twigs.
In this way, a balance between the growth and fertility. The birth rate in this case is increased because a number of lateral vegetative buds transformed into generative - flower buds.
They after flowering and fertilization give a certain amount of fruit, which is not the case in a fully vertical position of shoots and branches, which sometimes do not have a gender.
Perennial vertical bending of shoots in the training stage, the received quality gender crown. Bent shoots stunt associated rope, raffia, special clips. Tongs are easily fitted to the desired location, and can be used for several years. Shoots were bent during the subsequent regular pruning winter-spring base to be removed.
