What is the process of tree pruning and what is the appropriate time for it?

It is a process in which farmers cut the branch limbs of trees for several purposes, including removing dead branches, strengthening the main branches, controlling the tree’s growth, and preparing it for the new fruiting season.

The timing of the pruning process varies according to the type of trees and the purpose of the pruning process, but in general, late fall and winter are considered the ideal season for tree pruning, especially spring and fruitful ones.

The most important steps for tree pruning

As we mentioned earlier, the appropriate time for the pruning process is not random, as it depends first on it being before spring, when flowers begin to grow on the branches, and the cold protects the cut ends from fungi, insects, and other causes of damage to the branches.

Do not be hasty in starting the process of pruning and cutting branches, because cutting the wrong branches may negatively affect the tree’s growth balance and its performance during the fruiting season. You should also avoid cutting the main branches.

Pruning tools must be sterilized before starting to use them to avoid any damage that may result from fungi and other planktons attached to the tools. Tools must also be sterilized when moving from one tree to another to avoid infectious diseases if they have infected one of the trees.

The initial cutting of the branches is extremely important because it is considered the falling point when the cutting process is completed, and it is preferable for the first cutting to be at the bottom of the branch and at an appropriate distance from the area where it connects to the trunk or a branch larger than it.

One of the most important factors that you must follow to ensure correct pruning is choosing the right tools that do not cause improper tearing of the branch tissue.
