Bergamot, also known as bergamot, is a precious citrus fruit with a unique shape, like many hands guarding the Buddha, hence its name. How to correctly prune the bergamot plant can make the plant healthier and stronger and bear more fruits. This article will share some tips and precautions for pruning bergamot.
Cut off dead branches and pests and diseases. Find dead branches and parts affected by pests and diseases on the bergamot plant in time, and use pruning scissors to cut them off. This not only keeps the plants clean, but also prevents pests and diseases from spreading on the plants.
If the trunk of the bergamot plant grows too long, it may easily cause the lower branches to wither due to lack of light. You can use pruning scissors to properly prune the trunk so that the lower branches can get enough sunlight and promote healthy growth of the plant.
Branches that are too densely trimmed have very strong growth. If they are too dense, they may easily lead to poor light and air circulation, affecting fruit growth and development. It is necessary to prune excessively dense branches in a timely manner and maintain appropriate spacing to improve ventilation and light transmission.
Promote the growth of branch branches The main branches of bergamot plants usually do not have too many branch branches, but branch branches can increase fruit yield. During the pruning process, the bifurcated growth of lateral branches can be stimulated, and part of the terminal buds can be cut off with pruning scissors, thereby promoting the growth and bifurcation of lateral branches.
Trim the top to maintain overall balance In order to maintain the overall balance and beauty of the bergamot plant, the top can be trimmed at the right time. Pay attention to retaining certain growth points when pruning to avoid excessive pruning that will cause new shoots to fail to grow smoothly.
Control plant height Too high a bergamot plant height is not only inconvenient to manage, but also affects adequate light exposure. The height of the plant can be controlled by pruning techniques to control it within an appropriate range.
Pruning the ends of branches to promote the growth of lateral buds By pruning the ends of branches, the growth of lateral buds can be stimulated, the branching of plants can be increased, and the number and yield of fruits can be increased.
Cutting off too dense fruits on bergamot plants will block each other and affect the quality and development of the fruits. The fruits can be properly spaced apart by pruning scissors to ensure that each fruit receives sufficient sunshine and nutrition.
Trim branches to increase yield During the growth of bergamot plants, uneven branches often occur. These branches can be pruned to make the plant grow more evenly and increase yield.
Trimming the top promotes the branching of lateral buds. Trimming the top of the bergamot plant at a timely time can stimulate the end of the dormancy period of the top bud eyes, thereby promoting the branching growth of lateral buds and increasing the number of branches in the plant.
pruning winter dormancy period During the winter dormancy period of bergamot plants, pruning can be carried out appropriately to prune too long or damaged branches to keep the plants healthy and tidy.
The pruning methods for pruning plants of different ages are also different for different ages. Young plants can be pruned appropriately to promote lateral buds branching; adult plants need to pay attention to maintaining overall balance and controlling height.
Care after pruning The pruned bergamot plants need to be given appropriate amounts of water and nutrients in a timely manner to promote the growth and healthy development of new shoots. In addition, we must also pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, and reasonably arrange light and temperature conditions.
Selection of pruning timing The pruning timing of bergamot plants can be selected in spring or autumn to avoid pruning in severe cold or hot weather.
Through reasonable pruning, the bergamot plant can be made healthier and stronger and bear more fruits. However, it should be noted that attention should be paid to retaining certain growth points when pruning to avoid damage to the plant caused by excessive pruning. I hope this pruning guide will be helpful to friends who like to grow bergamot.
