How to prune the annual pepper tree, and can the pepper tree be pruned now?

In the first year, the pepper tree should be pruned and repaired. Because the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree belongs to the greening plants with strict requirements for sunlight exposure, and the requirements for sunlight irradiation time and illumination are relatively large, so the pruning of the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree has the effect of promoting the growth and development of branches, maintaining natural ventilation and light transmittance, and producing excellent trunks, which can reasonably ensure the reduction of Zanthoxylum pepper diseases, annual increase in yield, and high yield.

In the first year, the pepper tree belongs to the young tree, and it is suitable to do a good job of pruning and repairing after the harvest of prickly ash in autumn to before the dead leaves, that is to say, around September to October in autumn, at this time, pruning can prevent the problem of slow wound healing after spring pruning, excessive total flow of wounds and reducing the amount of fruit.

The first year of pepper tree pruning method.

Juvenile tree pruning is dominated by stem shaping, trunk generation and fruiting, and thinning should be the dominant way in the pruning method. For the first planting of young trees, the first year can be cut according to the height and width ratio (30-50 cm) at the top of the base position to do a good job of stubbing, and then in winter, the dense congested branches, repeated cross branches, diseased branches, weak branches and all branches that harm the growth and development of the branches on the pepper tree, all from the tip of the branch are thinned, and all the other selected branches are moderately shortened, and the branches that are not harmful to the branches can be selected and retained for auxiliary branch shaping.

The pepper trees are generally high in the south and north, which does not affect the sun's exposure and harvest.

Zanthoxylum pepper trees can now be pruned, now in late summer and early autumn, the temperature gradually drops, pruning will not affect the healing of wounds, pruning is mainly for residual branches, residual leaves and long branches, and then do stubbing treatment on too long branches, after cutting, timely smear grass ash for the wound of Zanthoxylum pepper trees, or wrap with plastic film to reduce water evaporation.

1. Pruning time of Zanthoxylum bungeanum For young trees and fruiting trees, it is more suitable to prune after harvesting and before falling leaves in autumn, which can reduce the problems of slow wound healing, excessive wound flow and reduced fruiting amount; If the growth of weak or old pepper trees, pruning in the spring, pruning at this time, can avoid low temperature frost damage or dry branches, dead branches, dead branches.

2, the young age pruning of young trees, to the tree body shaping, the formation of the crown and promote the fruit-based, pruning to thinning, the top of the trunk for shortening, and then retain 5 strong branches for the backbone of the main branch culture, and all other new slightly plucking to control the length, for weak branches, pests and diseases to remove all the branches, so that the fruiting branches can be cultivated, and pay attention to the regulation and pruning of the competition branches, and at the same time to do a good job in the main branch side branches, auxiliary branches, fruiting branches of the selection and cultivation.

3, the early fruit period pruning pepper can generally start to bear fruit from the 3rd to 4th year, to the 6th year or so to form a small amount of yield, this time of watering the first fruit period, to continue to expand the crown, cultivate the branch group, adjust the tree potential, so as to promote more fruit, pruning process can be used light pruning and thinning pruning, can not use too much stubbing method. 4. Pruning in the full fruit period of Zanthoxylum pepper can enter the full fruit period after six or seven years of growth, the pruning of the full fruit period is mainly to stabilize the tree potential, cultivate strong branch groups, improve the ventilation and light transmission environment of the inner chamber, and ensure high yield and stable yield. When pruning, it is necessary to shape a perfect tree structure, thin out or finely prune the dense, crossing, pest and disease branches, and maintain the principle of removing the weak and leaving the strong, so as to cultivate new fruiting branches.

Zanthoxylum trees can be pruned in spring and autumn. Spring pruning is around February of spring, while the flower buds have not yet germinated, cut off dead branches, diseased branches, and stub too long branches to promote branch bud differentiation, promote fruiting branches to become thicker, and organize branch trends.

Autumn pruning takes place in late October, when the fruit is picked and can be done after a week of recovery, pruning off the stumps and leaves, combing the branches, and cutting off the long branches, retaining water and nutrients in preparation for wintering.

When pruning pepper trees, pay attention to proportion. Zanthoxylum pepper trees are easy to form fruiting branches in the full fruiting period, and a short branch will grow in the middle and lower part of the fruiting branch, and these short branches will also flower and bear fruit in the second year, so pay attention to protecting these branches when pruning.

The pruning time of the pepper tree needs to be considered from many aspects, and the age of the pepper tree, the variety of the pepper tree, and the planting environment need to be considered. In general, pruning can be done all year round. However, young trees and fruiting pepper trees are mostly pruned after the harvest of pepper in autumn, and pruning can be done at this time, which can be pruned on the surface of spring pruning due to excessive wounds and the amount of fruit of Zanthoxylum pepper trees decreases.

If the growth is poor or the pepper tree is old, you can choose to prune it in the spring. In addition, it is necessary to try to avoid pruning the pepper tree in winter, the temperature is low in winter, and improper pruning is easy to cause frost damage to the pepper tree, resulting in the dry of the branches.

Pruning method of pepper trees.

The pruning of the pepper tree mainly needs to be carried out from two aspects, one is shaping, and the other is pruning. The two need to work together. The principle of pruning is generally that the main branches of Zanthoxylum pepper should be less and the twigs should be more, because the fruiting branches of Zanthoxylum are mostly on the twigs.

In addition, from the description of the problem, we can basically know that it is the first fruit stage of the pepper tree, the pruning principle of such a pepper tree is "thinning", because at this time the pepper tree has borne fruit but at this time is still in the period of continuous upward growth, so it is necessary to thinn the pruning to avoid excessive pruning affecting the later growth of the pepper tree, resulting in the yield of the pepper tree in the full fruit period is affected.

At this time, the pepper tree is generally not truncated, and more shaping steps such as supporting, pulling, and bending branches are carried out. Let the main trunk of the pepper tree continue to grow, cut off some excess branches, and generally keep about 4 branches at the base, and the rest can be pruned off.

Branches that are too dense can be thinned to adjust the degree of light received by the pepper tree. Some overlapping or parallel branches of Zanthoxylum bungeanum can choose to prune a part and keep a part, generally cutting off the upright branches and retaining the flat and oblique branches, which can promote the expansion of the growth space of the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree. If you encounter an erect branch that grows vigorously, you can cut it short, or pull it or pend it.

The best time to prune pepper trees is around January and February in spring and September to October in autumn.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees can be pruned all year round, but the best pruning time is around January and February in spring and September to October in autumn. Young and fruiting trees are more suitable for autumn pruning, usually after fruit picking and before leaf drop.

2. It is beneficial to the growth and fruiting of Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees, and increase the yield.

3. It is conducive to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

Summary. The pruning time of the pepper tree is mostly in spring and autumn, and it is not recommended to prune it in winter, because the temperature is low in winter, and if the prickly ash tree is not properly maintained after winter pruning, it is easy to freeze and reduce the yield in the second year.

The pepper tree should be pruned reasonably during the planting process, so that it can grow more vigorously. When pruning it, it is best to do it in spring and autumn, the temperature and humidity in these two seasons are more conducive to the recovery of the wound of the pepper tree, and at this time, the sap of the pepper tree is more fluid, and the impact on it after pruning is less, and the wound heals faster.

Now it's time to do a break cut.

Does stubbing have any effect on trees?

This kind of thing has no effect.

Some experts say it's a bit early to prune, saying to wait until after the leaves have fallen.

The pruning time of the pepper tree is mostly in spring and autumn, and it is not recommended to prune it in winter, because the temperature is low in winter, and if the prickly ash tree is not properly maintained after winter pruning, it is easy to freeze and reduce the yield in the second year.

Thank you, teacher.

You're welcome

1. Pruning of young trees: cut off the over-dense, overlapping and thin branches to improve the ventilation of the pepper tree. 2. Pruning at the early fruit stage

Cut off the branches on the plant to increase fruit yield. 3. Pruning during the peak fruit period: cut off the excess branches and cut off the thick branches and leaves.

4. Pruning of old trees: cut off the thin and old branches of the pepper tree to reduce nutrient consumption.

1. Young tree period

The young tree period of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is mainly based on light pruning, and the dense and thin branches are cut off with sharp scissors, and the others do not need to be pruned, so as to promote better ventilation inside the Zanthoxylum pepper tree, accelerate the growth rate of the plant, and prepare for the later flowering and fruiting.

2. The first fruit stage

In the early fruiting stage, the main purpose is to cut off the branches that grow long and diseased on the plant, so that the plant can maintain a healthy growth state, and avoid the diseased branches affecting the normal growth of the pepper tree and the phenomenon of fruit falling.

3. Full fruit period

Pruning of the pepper tree in the peak fruiting period needs to cut off the excess branches to achieve the purpose of shaping, and the branches in the crown should be carefully pruned, and the branches that can bear fruit should be shortened to promote the better growth of the branches of the pepper tree.

4. Pruning old trees

Zanthoxylum pepper tree will enter the senescence period for more than 20 years, at this time it is necessary to cut off the dead and drooping branches to save nutrients for the plant and promote the normal growth of rhizomes.
