🌳 Training Pruning in Fruit Trees 🌳
1️⃣ Trunk height
Keep the trunk clear for 30 to 40 cm above the ground.
Remove all suckers and low branches competing with the base.
2️⃣ Selection of main branches (A)
Choose 3 to 5 well-spaced branches around the trunk.
These branches will form the framework of the canopy.
Keep 10 to 20 cm of spacing between them to ensure balance and good airflow.
3️⃣ Cutting secondary branches
Remove overly upright shoots or those growing towards the inside of the canopy.
Cut crossing or crowded branches that block sunlight pe*******on.
4️⃣ Support branch (Б)
Maintain the central leader as a guide to ensure steady and balanced growth.
5️⃣ Purpose of pruning
Create an open, well-lit canopy.
Improve air circulation, reducing pests and diseases.
Encourage more abundant and higher-quality fruiting.
🍎 Training pruning should be done during the first years of the tree to secure healthy growth and productivity throughout its life.
