What are some ways to prune figs? How do you prune figs?

Figs are perennial trees, and they are well known by many friends because of their sweet and delicious fruits and rich nutrients. Maybe you don't know, potted figs not only have a tasting function, but also an ornamental function, which is very distinctive. I will introduce you to the knowledge of plastic pruning of figs, and interested friends can learn it.

Fig potted plant.

There are two types of shaping of potted figs. The first is the open-shaped pruning method, leaving 3 to 4 buds at the base of the seedling stem after planting, and selecting 3 main branches in different directions that year. Figs are light-loving species, the angle of the main branch should be opened, the main branch can be pulled to 60 degrees to 70 degrees by pulling the branch, and the mixed buds on each main branch can be pulled and fruited in the second year.

The length of the main branch should be controlled at about 40 cm, and the overly prosperous main branch should be plucked in time in summer. When pruning in winter, the fruiting branches should be weak and strong. The extension branches of the three main branches should be retracted and renewed year by year to control the canopy and make it of appropriate size.

The second is the horizontal ring pruning method of the main trunk, which is indefinite in the first year after planting, so that it can grow naturally. Because of its strong germination force, it can germinate from bottom to top to form a plurality of branches, pruning in winter according to the distribution of branches, from bottom to top circular staggered selection of about 10, after the branches are extended and grown, they are bent and tied horizontally along the branches with thin wires to facilitate continuous fruiting. Pay attention to thinning out overly dense and overlapping branches, and the main trunk extension branches that grow upwards should be controlled at a height of 1 meter to a meter, and should be topped in time when it is too vigorous.

After the third year of fruiting, the fruiting branches form a whole ring around the main trunk from bottom to top, and can be renewed and pruned every year to maintain the fruiting ability and avoid overlapping ringbranches to form a beautiful tree shape.

We generally use the happy pruning method, leaving 3 to 4 bud points at the base of the fig. Three main branches in different directions were selected that year. If your main branch grows upright like this, then we need to stretch it outward 60 to 70 degrees so that it opens up at an angle.

We control the length of the main branch to 40 cm, and we can pluck it in the summer for overgrown branches.

Pruning method of figs: When the seedlings of figs grow to about 40 cm tall, leave 30 cm to cut off and dry. When the lower axillary bud grows to 3 cm, only the top 3 5 buds are left as the main branch, and the rest is cut off.

In late July of that year, another topping was carried out to prevent the branches from growing and to promote the enrichment of the base buds. In the spring of the second year, cut short at 12 15 cm from the main branch. When the new shoots grow to about 3 cm, leave 2 3 buds on each main branch, and remove the rest of the buds.

Pluck the tops at the end of the second dog to prevent the shoots from growing and spread the shoots horizontally. After such pruning, it can be cultivated into a beautiful tree shape with side branches and fruits. Later, at the beginning of each year, the annual branches should be cut off at 10 12 cm at the base of the annual branches, and the weak branches, diseased branches, overly dense branches, cross branches and long branches should be cut off, so that the remaining branches would be evenly distributed around the crown and pruned into a round head shape.

Senescent shoots can be re-cut and renewed.

How to prune figs:

In order for the figs to bear fruit and the tree to have a beautiful shape, pruning is required, which must be done in early spring before the sap flows.

Do not leave the trunk too high, 30-40 cm is better. For potted plants that have been skeletonized, in early spring and early March, in combination with repotting, all the remaining branches are short-cut, leaving only 5 7 lateral buds per branch, and trimmed into a round-headed crown. When planting in the ground, it is advisable to cultivate tall plants, and only pluck the overly long branches to help balance the tree momentum.

Fig tree is a deciduous shrub plant of the genus Ficus moraceae, which grows well and grows rapidly, so it should be pruned frequently, so when is it appropriate to prune? How do I prune? The following is an introduction to the pruning method of figs.

When do figs be pruned? 】

Figs can generally be pruned around March in spring, because the mild climate in spring is the season when plants grow vigorously, and pruning at this time is conducive to better recovery of fig wounds, but when pruning, it is necessary to pay attention to the need to disinfect pruning tools to avoid bacterial infection of plant wounds.

How do you prune figs? 】

1. Prune before germination.

Before the tree sprouts, it is necessary to cut off the dead branches, stump branches and old branches of the previous year of the fig tree, which can save nutrients and promote the growth of the fruit tree.

2. Trim before fruiting.

Fig trees also need to be pruned in the early stages of fruiting, with long branches, dense branches, and heavy branches being cut off.

3. Pruning during the fruiting period.

Fig trees need to be pruned twice during the fruiting period when they are growing well and in good condition. During pruning, long, dense and heavy branches on the fig tree need to be cut off. After cutting off the long and dense branches, it can expand the growth space of fruit branches, enhance the air permeability and light transmission between branches, and facilitate the growth of fruits.

4. Prune after falling leaves.

Fig trees are deciduous plants, and during the later growth period, after 6 to 8 days of defoliation of the fig tree, pruning is required. During pruning, it is necessary to cut off the dead branches and old leaves on the fig tree to save nutrients for the uncavity flower and fruit tree. In the pruning process, if there are diseased branches or insect branches on the fig tree, it needs to be cut off in time and burned intensively.

Early spring pruning. Fig trees can prune off the dry and yellowed branches and leaves in March every year, leaving only the strong branches; Pruning at the flowering and fruiting stage, and thinning the densely grown branches and leaves during the fruiting period; Prune after the leaves are dropped, and prune off the branches with poor growth after the leaves are falling, and only keep the strong branches; In the later stage, after the pruning is completed, a layer of plant ash should be applied to the wound for disinfection.

Fig trees can be pruned in early spring in March, leaving the sturdy branches and pruning off the dry, yellowish branches. Pruning should start from the bottom position to ensure that the branches have sufficient nutrients**, so that the branches can germinate better.

During the fruiting period of fig trees, intensive, diseased shoots need to be pruned in order to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption. Broken flowers and poor-quality fruits should also be pruned. If more than one fruit grows on a branch, it is necessary to prune off the effect to improve the quality and yield of the fruit.

Pruning can be done a week after the fig tree has fallen its leaves, during which time it is necessary to prune off the branches that grow intensively and affect the growth of the plant, so that the fig tree can survive the winter better. In the process of pruning, Li Qixian only needs to prune off the branches that are not growing well, and keep the strong branches, so that the fig tree can grow more vigorously.

After the pruning of the fig tree is completed, it is necessary to apply a layer of plant ash to the wound for side light sterilization and disinfection to avoid bacterial infection of the wound and affect the normal growth of the fig tree. In addition, after pruning, water should be poured into the soil in time to make the soil slightly moist, and a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer-based fertilizer should be applied to make the wound heal as soon as possible.

When pruning is done in spring, it is usually in March. At this time, pruning is to keep the thicker branches and cut off some branches and leaves that have dried up. In addition, the longer branches and dead branches should be pruned from the bottom position, so as to retain sufficient nutrients and make the branches and leaves germinate better.

At the time of fruiting, in order to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption, it is necessary to prune off the branches that are dense and diseased. Residual flowers and bad fruits that do not grow well should also be pruned, and sometimes the fruits will grow very densely, if there are many fruits on a branch, the small fruits need to be cut off thinly, which will improve the quality of the fruit.

After the leaves of the fig tree have fallen, it takes about a week to prune. This will cut off branches that are too thin and affect the growth of the plant, which will help it survive the winter more smoothly. When pruning, weak branches should be removed and strong branches should be retained.

Fig pruning is mainly in April-May in the spring, and in November-December in the winter. The methods of fig pruning are: pruning during the growing season, pruning during the full fruit period, and pruning during the dormant period.

Fig pruning is mainly in April-May in the spring, and in November-December in the winter. In April-May, the spring is the time when the climate picks up and is warm and suitable, and the pruning wound at this time recovers very quickly and can quickly enter the growth and development stage. Winter pruning is less harmful to fig trees, and winter is the dormant period of figs, when pruning can reduce the outflow of fig body fluid, thereby reducing nutrient loss and avoiding drainage.

Pruning method for figs:

1. Pruning during the growing season

When the fig tree grows to 20-30 cm, it can be topped to leave a few branches for the fig, and the height is controlled at about 30-50 cm. In addition to topping, fig trees also need to prune branches and leaves, cut off diseased branches, weak branches, and slender branches, and cut off part of the cross branches, which can reduce nutrient consumption, increase the light transmission and ventilation of the tree, and also be conducive to fruiting.

2. Pruning during the peak fruit period:

Figs should be properly thinned during the full fruit period, and small fruits and weak fruits that do not grow well should be removed. Prune the fig tree appropriately, remove part of the densely growing branches, and retract the vigorous branches. After pruning the figs at full fruit, apply antiseptic film on the cut to disinfect and sterilize and promote wound healing.

3. Dormant pruning:

During the dormant period, pruning is mainly to remove weak branches and leave the vigorous ones.
