We have three pruning methods. The first one is to cut it short. Be sure to keep the cut away from the bud eye. If it is too close, it will affect the growth and development of bud eyes in the coming year. Then it should be noted that the number of buds is determined according to the length of the treetops. Short branch with 2 buds, choose the whole bud.
The second way to trim is to shrink it. The so-called shrinkage cutting is selective cutting, and shrinkage cutting is a necessary work for some old vines. Because the old trees have many branches and a large intake of nutrients, the dormant old trees in winter lose a lot and should be pruned according to their state. If it is a weak branch for many years, it is necessary to cut off the weak branch and keep the strong branch for reproduction. If it is a powerful branch, do the opposite.
The third pruning method is thinning. Sparse, as the name implies, is rough pruning. There is a principle of rough pruning, that is, six pruning and six non-pruning, pruning weak branches to keep strong branches, pruning incomplete branches to keep complete branches, pruning far branches to keep near branches, pruning double branches to keep single branches, pruning underdeveloped branches to keep fully developed branches, and pruning old branches to keep new branches. Firmly implement the principle of six pruning and six non-pruning, and believe that our vines will grow well. Of course, no matter which way we prune branches, what we should pay attention to is the same. There are four points to pay attention to when pruning vines. The first is to look at them. Before pruning, we should observe the state of the tree and the growth of branches and leaves, so as to roughly determine the pruning scheme.
