【養花·種菜】071 如何給果樹疏果？ How to Thin a Fruit Tree?

Hello friends, today I am going to thin my fruit on my fruit tree. By the way, I will share with you why I want to thin the fruit tree, when to thin the fruit? how to thin the fruit?and why do I want to thin the fruit tree? Look, my fruit tree is this year, It is the fourth year, We see that the branches of this fruit tree have grown to this diameter, It should be more than an inch, But you can see that my fruit is supported by a big tripod, And then its branches are crooked, It's just that the tree shape is very bad. Why? It's because when I bought this fruit tree, I should have planted it. This fruit tree is in the 4th year, but I planted it in the 3rd year. Everyone knows that it is in the 1st year when it comes, and it will not bear fruit. When it bears fruit in the second year, it hung nearly a hundred fruits at once. I didn't understand it at the time, and I didn't care about it, so the tree probably had Like this tree trunk, As big as this trunk, It's actually quite small, But it hung dozens of fruits, Mine is an Asian pear, Everyone knows that pears are heavy, Then directly bend the whole tree, directly bend the whole tree, All the way down to the ground, So when the fruit is ripe, This tree won't rise. Then last year, my friend and I spent a lot of effort to prop it up and prevent it from breaking. So you can see that the branches of my tree are all winding, It's just that the shape of the tree is very bad. So why do fruit trees want to thin their fruits? That is to say, when the fruit tree is small, it mainly grows its body, not bears fruit. The second is to keep it a good tree shape The second question, when to thin the fruit trees? We look at this fruit, and when it grows, when the fruit grows to the size of a dollar coin, we thinner it. Why do you have to grow to such a big size? That is, if you thinned the fruit early, and the fruit you left may fall off again as it grows, then you will have no fruit. If a coin is as big as a dollar, It's basically stereotyped, Then we see that some fruits are very full, Some are just average. So two fruits like this, We must have picked a bad one And thinning it out. So when the fruit rises to the size of a coin, it is fine. The third question about fruit thinning is how to thin fruit? As for how to thin fruit, that is to say, trees of different sizes have different results. For a relatively small tree like this, its ability to bear fruit on a single branch is very weak, and then like those old trees With a larger trunk, it has more fruit and can bear more fruit Then we can keep a little more fruit Specifically, there is a principle, If you look at the weight of this branch, For example, this branch, We see that this branch is a chopstick, a little more than chopsticks, Then when we go to get this branch, It has a load load of about two pounds, If you put three pounds of stuff on it, It may have broken this branch, So you give this branch to it according to the load bearing of two pounds, Then ours is an Asian pear, Its individual pears are about a little over half a pound, So you can only keep three or four of these branches. We still don't have many Asian pears this year. Sometimes there are eight or nine or ten pears in a cluster. In that case, there are not many pears this year, so the workload of our fruit thinning is relatively not that large, so we start from Start inside this. We started looking at it from the beginning, you see this is very small, so we definitely don't want it. Then these two here are not bad, but if you can keep one of the same pears in one place, you won't keep two, why? Such a small one, such a small one points two pears very nutritious. So we still cut Take this small one and break it off, so we have a big one left, and this is the first one. Let's go further, And then these didn't go all the way here, By the time we get here, Let's see that the first one is not bad, It's quite big, This is also quite big, But this one has a very small one, And these two grow together, So let's break off another one. Then let's look at the bottom of this, there is another one below this, and there is another one that is quite close to it, and it is under the branch, so its light will not be very good, so we will also break it off. Be careful not to crack the branches when you thin the fruits. Next, let's see that there are two more here, so let's choose the big one and keep it. In this case, From front to back, this is already four, We've had enough, This branch is enough, It's four, It's two pounds. Then the next word, you can thinning off the next fruit, and then what is your other choice? Let's say that if there is fruit hanging here, You wouldn't choose to hang up here, Because when it's cooked, It will push the branches down hard, So now, This fruit is plentiful here, too, We don't want it either, No, then we see that this branch is drooping, In fact, we don't want so many branches, Because if there are too many branches, they will also grab nutrition. You see, our last fruit is here, Let's save a few more verses, In our last fruit is here Then we leave some leaves in front of it to deliver nutrients to it, and we cut this off. You see, after cutting off this branch, it will rise up, and it will no longer hang down, so this branch is very easy. It's often easy, and then the few fruits he bears will not press this one down particularly when the time comes. Let's take a look again, let's look at this branch, this branch comes from the main trunk, this is a very thick branch, but you can see that there is such a small branch in the same place as it, and this The small branches are interspersed in it, Very messy, And it has no sunlight, And then it grew very small, We don't leave any branches like this. Although we will not overhaul fruit trees in this season, small branches like this can still be repaired. In this case, you can see that it does not grab nutrition, it does not grab nutrition and is still ventilated. The fruit tree will grow very well. In January or February of winter, we will talk about how to prune fruit trees. Like small ones, we can't cut big branches now. Next, we will be this branch, our tree This main branch is thicker, and it can bear about four or five pounds of weight, so we can put it on the branch, and then leave a few more evenly, and then leave a few on the branches. Let's look at this, the first one is quite full, so is the second one, but the third one looks at the third one, these two, these two are not too big, so we can remove both of them. If you are afraid that the branch will be broken off, you can use this trimmer, so you don't want both of them, then the fourth one is quite big, the fourth one is quite big, we will keep it, so this We kept three of the main branches. Next, let's look at its branches. This branch is very small, with a load capacity of one or two pounds at most, so we can just keep two or three, then keep two or three words, this is very big, this one is left, and the second one is This, we can take off the two ahead, you can also keep one, and if we keep one, we will keep it as a big one. So the next thing There are still so many, we just don't keep it, you have two choices if you don't keep it, one is to pick off a fruit and keep the branch, but my branch, everyone can see the shape of the whole branch, this It's okay, but it's so sagging here, it's ugly, so we don't leave this branch, just cut it off, in this case, you can see that this branch is very beautiful. So in fact, the process of fruit thinning is also a process of repairing fruit trees, but we are doing minor repairs now, you can't overhaul, these two are relatively simple, we look at it again, it is a more complicated one, let's look at it now We look at one branch that is more complicated, let's look at this branch, then everyone sees that this branch is already on the road, that is, it is already on the road, and it is three branches, it is here, basically the same place, and then Sent three branches. So except for this one, which is stronger, these two branches are particularly thin, so you know that the nutrition of three branches in the same place is not enough. So in a situation like this, we have to make trade-offs, and which one do you want to keep? And then which one to cut? Generally speaking, our principle is to keep the strong one. For example, this branch is relatively strong. We want to keep it, and we need to cut off the weak one. Let's cut it off first, And then we'll start counting from here, And then one and two, This note is this one, Here's a beautiful one, And then there's one, two, and then because this is just up north, So he didn't pick up so many, These are three very beautiful, very large branches because they are very thick, And then this is four, It's over, There's another one down here, There is another little one below here, so I don't want it. And then this branch is like the others, Look, there's a lot down here, But it has fallen down, And we've got enough, At this time, we give a branch to a fruit, Fix it, And cut it off, In this case, Look at this wine, it's going up, The whole tree shape is particularly beautiful. We just trimmed three of them, and then we followed the rules and trimmed all the others. Next, we will trim all these too many and bad-growing ones. And you see, when you encounter a lot of them, When encountering such a lot of them, What do you keep? Where did you choose to stay? Are you sure to choose the big one? Not necessarily. That is to say, when there are a lot of them, you try to cut all the middle ones, cut all the middle ones for him, and then leave the ones on the sides, just to make them more nutritious, like this pile, like this pile, cut off the ones that are not nutritious enough to attack, and leave this and this Look, this is the fruit we have trimmed. Although it looks like a pity, it must be pruned for our tree, or it must be pruned for it. Now you can see that our whole tree shape is very beautiful, just like the one just now is hanging and messy, and now the whole tree shape looks very beautiful, and every branch is sparse and scattered fruit, and then they are scattered and relatively uniform, in this case, the fruit we get is big and good. Finally, let's summarize Why Thin Fruits? It is for the fruit trees to grow better, and then the second Thin the fruit when it is a dollar coin. Third, in fact, in the process of fruit thinning, you perform a small pruning on the fruit tree, just like our fruit tree is very different before and after pruning. Then there is another one that some friends will ask you if the small fruit tree needs to be thinned, and if the big fruit tree needs to be thinned? This depends on the situation. If your fruit tree is very large and does not bear a lot of fruit, you don't have to thinn the fruit if it does not cause a lot of pressure on its branches. But just like the persimmon tree, in Portland, it bears a lot of results every year, so every autumn, there are many persimmon trees, which are as thick as apples. The trunk will be crushed, so the entire tree shape will be destroyed, which will be particularly ugly, because basically 1/3 of the whole will be gone. So I think a tree like this should be thinned when its fruit is small. One is not to cause a lot of pressure on the tree, and the other is to Prevent too much fruit from crushing the tree. Well, I will share with you today's fruit tree thinning here, and I will share with you how to prune this sapling in January and February when it is winter? How to fix the shape of the small tree? Well, thank you all! Goodbye!
