It is better to prune wolfberry trees in winter or in spring

Goji berries can be pruned all year round, in the spring, mainly to control, prune off the branches that grow too vigorously, pay attention to the top in summer, the same is true in autumn, and the winter is the last period of the year, the main thing is to prune off the old and weak branches, the branches of wolfberry are relatively thin and soft, so pay attention to the curvature of the branches when pruning.

Goji berry pruning.

Reasonable pruning of wolfberry can control plant height, growth and the amount of branches, so that it can bear fruit early, more fruits, and the quality of the fruit will also be improved, in addition, the branches of wolfberry trees are slender and soft, the tree shape is loose, the skeleton is not firm, and it is inconvenient to maintain.

Goji berry pruning time.

Goji berries can be pruned all year round, in the spring is mainly to control, prune off the branches that grow too vigorously, pay attention to the top in summer, the same is true in autumn, and winter is the last period of the year, the main thing is to prune off the old and weak branches.

Goji berries should be pruned several times.

Goji berries need to be pruned four times a year, mainly in spring, summer, autumn and winter, which can reduce the loss of nutrients and improve ornamentality.

Goji berry pruning method.

1. Pruning in the growth stage.

Juvenile pruning: Proper pruning can be carried out during the wolfberry seedlings, which can shape a beautiful plant shape, at this time, the germinated buds can be cut off, and topping and topping can be carried out, and the topping can increase the branches of wolfberry and make its overall shape more full.

Pruning at maturity: If the wolfberry is pruned in time at the maturity stage, the growth relationship of the main and side branches can be adjusted, the tree potential can be balanced, the amplitude of the crown can be controlled, and the branches can be renewed, so as to make its growth more reasonable and the plant shape more perfect.

Flowering pruning: Pruning wolfberry when it blooms can make it bear better fruit, wolfberry flowering time is in summer and autumn, you can pick the summer flowers, because the quality of the fruit produced by flowering at this time is not good, and concentrate nutrients to supply autumn fruit.

2. Pruning in all seasons.

Pruning before winter: Before entering winter, wolfberry can cut off fallen leaves and fruits to reduce nutrient consumption, so as to better overwinter, make it show a strong cold tree shape, and also improve ornamentality.

Summer pruning: wolfberry grows vigorously in summer, pruning is the key to fruit growth at this time, you can carry out multiple topping, so that it germinates branches, you can erase the rhizome of the plant and excess buds, and shorten the branches of the upper layer of the canopy, keep 20 cm, and cut off the long branches.

Pruning during dormant period: Pruning can also be carried out during the dormant period of wolfberry, first cut off the sprouting tiller branches, then prune off the excessively long branches, retain the strong branches with good growth, cut off the weak branches, the middle part is shortened, and the lower part leaves the fruiting branches.

Precautions for wolfberry pruning.

The branches of wolfberry are relatively thin and soft, so pay attention to the curvature of the branches when pruning, and prune not too often or too heavy, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of the plant.

When the potted wolfberry is pruned in the spring, the new shoots can be directly erased to reduce the consumption of nutrients. In the summer, the wolfberry pots need to be topped in preparation for the autumn fruits. In autumn, the germinated sprouts should be removed in time and topped.

In winter, after the leaves have withered, they can be re-modeled, and the old and sick branches need to be pruned in time.

The method of spring pruning of wolfberry bonsai.

The temperature in spring gradually rises, the germination time of wolfberry is also anxious, because the wound recovery of wolfberry is slower after pruning, so the pruning in spring is to stay as long as possible, the germination rate of wolfberry sprouts is higher, and it needs to be pruned in time. If new shoots are found to germinate in early April, they can be erased directly to reduce nutrient loss.

In the summer of each year, the wolfberry grows more vigorously, and at this time it needs to be topped to prepare for the autumn fruiting. In this case, you can prune the excessively long branches appropriately to keep the length of the branches at about 20 cm. In the summer, when the temperature is high, the wolfberry tree will go into a dormant state, and all its leaves can be removed at this time to reduce nutrient consumption.

In autumn, as the temperature drops, wolfberry will slowly grow new shoots, at this time, it is necessary to clean up the germinated sprouts, and properly carry out topping treatment, so that the fruit grows more evenly, around the beginning of October each year, the potted plant can be transferred to a cool shade position for maintenance, so as to prolong the fruit period.

In winter, after the fruits and leaves of the wolfberry pots have withered, they can be re-shaped, and the old and sick branches need to be pruned. If the branches and leaves of wolfberry potted plants grow too densely, the branches and leaves need to be combed and cut to improve the light transmittance and air permeability between the branches and leaves, so that the wolfberry potted plants can grow healthily.

Goji berry, also known as wolfberry, is a well-known and valuable Chinese medicinal material. It is often found on hillsides, wastelands, hilly lands, saline lands, roadsides, and so on. In addition to the widespread wild in China, it is also used for medicinal purposes, vegetables or green cultivation in various places.

Many friends will also plant some wolfberry trees in their yards, so do you know how to prune wolfberry trees? Let's find out.

1. Pruning at the young age: At the young age of the wolfberry tree, proper pruning helps the formation of the plant. At juvenile age, it is mainly the pruning of germinating shoots and topping. Topping can increase the branches of the wolfberry and make it fuller.

2. Summer pruning: wolfberry trees need to be pruned in summer, which is the peak growing season, when pruning wolfberry, you can timely remove the roots, trunks, and backbone branches on the long branches, generally pruning every 8-10 days to avoid excessive nutrient consumption. The wolfberry tree in the early fruiting stage needs to rapidly expand the crown through multiple stubs, so as to form a large number of clear fruiting branches.

3. Winter pruning: Winter pruning is carried out after the fall of leaves of wolfberry in winter and before budding in spring. When pruning, first cut off the old branches, dry branches, remove the root of the sprouting tillers and long branches, remove the diseased branches in the chest, dead branches, old branches, traversal branches, weak branches, cut off the weak branches that do not bear fruit, improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions in the tree, so as to promote the development of fruits.

For the branches of the canopy base of the wolfberry tree that are less than 35 cm above the ground, they should be shortened in time.

Pruning is fine now, and it will be fine in a few days. That's for sure.

The branches of wolfberry have thin bark and low water content, if pruned too early, the cut is easy to lose water and dry up, and it is not easy to heal. Therefore, pruning should be completed before the sap begins to flow, and the principle of early pruning of old and weak trees and late pruning of young and weak trees should be mastered. The main types of wolfberry trees are natural heart-shaped, natural semi-circular, and conical.

The first two are suitable for sparse plantations with row spacing meters, and the latter are suitable for dense plantations with 300 plants per 667 square meters. Here's how to trim it.

1. Thinning branches. First of all, it is necessary to prune dead branches, diseased branches, wounded branches, needle branches and traverse branches, and then thinn and prune the fruiting branches that are too dense. When thinning and pruning fruiting branches, first remove the missing branches, shaded branches, dorsal branches, and weak branches; Back to the dorsal upper branches, middle branches; If it is still dense, then thin the branches on both sides, and after pruning, the distance between the fruit branches is 5 6 cm, and they are all white branches with full growth and strong fruiting power.

Second, deal with the long branches.

The long branches that grow at the drooping place of the backbone branches should be kept as the extension branches of the backbone branches, and appropriately shortened to make the branch potential and extension direction stable; If there is space near the long branches, it should be appropriately shortened and cultivated into a fruiting branch group, so as to expand the crown and increase the fruiting area; Long branches that have no use value are cut off from the base.

3. Update the fruiting branch group.

The fruiting branches of wolfberry are mostly bent and drooping after 2 years of fruiting, and the fruiting ability is reduced. For this fruiting branch group, leave 3 5 cm stubs, after spring germination, select a healthy bud with the right growth direction and position, and cultivate a new fruiting branch group by topping.

Fourth, renew the cultivation of fruiting branches.

Due to the different varieties of wolfberry fruiting branches, some can bear two consecutive fruits, some can only bear one season of fruits, or only bear small and few fruits at the top. Weak-fruiting branches are characterized by grayish-brown branches with very short branches. This kind of fruit branch must be shortened and renewed in time.

Generally cut from the bend and drooping of the fruit branches, the thick short shears 1 2, the weak short shears 2 3, the too weak only leave 5 6 cm stubs, the degree of stubbing is rather light than heavy.

If they can all be inserted, why can't they be planted upside down?

The whole plant renewal of wolfberry tree pruning: there are a few wolfberry trees where most or all of the main branches are damaged or drained by DAO, and cannot form a crown on the original branches. However, the base and root system of the main trunk of the wolfberry tree are still intact, and the age of the wolfberry tree is within the prime of life, and the vitality is still very strong, the strongest long branches can be selected at the base of the plant, a small tree can be re-cultivated, and the residual part of the original plant above the place where the long branches are selected is selected to be removed, and the whole plant is renewed.

Because the root system of the plant is intact and the number of roots is large, it is conducive to the growth of new plants, which is generally faster than the growth of annual wolfberry seedlings. According to the survey, the use of the main stem base germination of the long branch for the whole plant replacement, after one year of growth, the base diameter is thick centimeters, there are 30 side branches, the crown width formed is up to 75 cm, and the use of annual growth of good seedlings to replant, the base diameter is only centimeters, the side branches are only 3, failed to form a small crown. Compared with the two, the effect of replanting wolfberry trees with long branches is much better than that of seedlings.

Therefore, for wolfberry with damaged canopy and unrestored root system, it is of practical value to replace the whole plant by using the long branches at the base of the trunk.

Goji berries are very fragile, so you must be careful when cutting them, cut them from top to bottom, hehe.
