Plum tree training and pruning methods and key technical points
① Training. The tree form can be natural open-center, multi-main-branch natural form, or Y-shape. For young trees, the trunk height is set at 30-50 cm. After sprouting, keep 5-6 buds as main branches; when the main branches are 50-60 cm long, leave 40 cm and pinch off the tips. In August, keep 2-3 permanent main branches, and pull the extra 2-3 main branches apart to make them droop, so they can bloom and bear fruit the following year. Later, as appropriate, train them into medium-to-large fruiting branch groups.

How to prevent frost damage in plum trees? Key technical points for frost prevention when growing plum trees
Frost injury and freeze damage refer to the phenomenon in which the soil and plant surface temperatures drop to 0°C or below 0°C for a short time at night during the growing season, or when frost occurs, causing damage to the young and tender parts of fruit trees. In China, the average annual area affected by frost damage reaches 340,000 km2, and in the worst year it reached 7

A Detailed Guide to Common Pests and Diseases of Plum Trees and Their Control Methods
After the first pinching of the plum tree, pinch the new secondary shoots when they reach 20 cm, and pinch the developing branches when they reach 60-80 cm. If there are many branches, some can be thinned out; if the branches are not too dense, thin as little as possible and control more. Before mid-July, the weeds in the orchard must be completely removed

How to apply sufficient base fertilizer when planting plum trees
Currently most plum orchards have less than 1% organic matter, and some plum orchards are even below 0.5%, far below the requirements of high-quality, high-yield orchards, so the amount of base fertilizer must be increased. If the dual needs of tree growth and soil improvement are taken into account at the same time, the application rate of organic fertilizer

What to Do About Low Fruit Set in Plums? Cause Analysis and Methods to Improve It
1. Regulating tree vigor For excessively vigorous trees, promptly remove buds and prune upright branches, and promptly open up the branch angles; alternatively, in autumn or spring apply 3-5 g of 15% paclobutrazol per tree, or spray 150-200 times diluted paclobutrazol or PBO after petal fall. For trees that are too weak, apply base fertilizer after harvest, and promptly apply topdressing and foliar fertilizer during the growing season.

What are the fruit-setting measures for papaya trees? Introduction to key cultivation techniques
The purpose of fruit setting is to increase the fruit-setting rate and reduce flower and fruit drop. There are three main reasons for flower and fruit drop in papaya: first, the tree is not vigorous, showing either excessive or weak growth, and the tree body lacks nutrients, causing severe flower and fruit drop; second, poor pollination and fertilization, and the ovary lacks hormones
