There are four main methods of pruning jujube trees. If the branches and leaves are too dense and affect the internal light and ventilation, you can thin the branches appropriately and cut off dense branches, forked branches, etc. If the new branches are not growing well, they can be shortened appropriately to promote the growth of new branches and increase the number of branches. If the old branches are drooping or not growing well, you can prune them at the branches to help them rejuvenate. If the growth is uneven, you can pull the branches apart at a certain angle to give new branches enough room to grow.

1. Thinning branches

1. Thinning branches

If the branches and leaves of the jujube tree are too dense, it will lead to insufficient internal ventilation and light transmission. Not only does this affect growth, it can also breed bacteria. Thinning the branches allows the branches and leaves inside to receive light and help them grow normally. Cut off dense branches, diseased branches, crossing branches and thin inner branches, starting from the base.

2. Short cut

If The first half of the new branch is relatively thick, and the back part gradually dries up, so it needs to be shortened. Short cutting can promote the growth of new branches and increase the number of branches, making it grow more lush.

3. Cutting

If Perennial branches droop due to long-term fruiting, or their growth gradually weakens, so they need to be moderately pruned. Generally, pruning is performed at the branches. It should be noted that the retraction of thick branches can rejuvenate, while the retraction of thin branches will inhibit their growth.

4. Pull branches

If The jujube tree grows unevenly after thinning out branches, so it is necessary to pull branches to change its shape and increase light and ventilation capabilities. You can use wire or rope to pull the branches apart so that they open at a certain angle, allowing the inner branches or leggy branches to have enough room to grow.
