Key technical points for adjusting and renovating scaffold branches

For some jujube trees that have never been trained or pruned before, according to the shaping principles, overlapping branches, crossing branches, parallel branches, and weak scaffold branches with poor fruiting capacity can be removed in batches over 3 to 4 years in a planned way, while at the same time cultivating some renewal branches. This allows all types of branches to grow and develop in a certain direction, improves ventilation and light penetration inside the canopy, and increases yield. The removed positions often sprout more vegetative branches after budding, so pruning measures such as bud removal, branch thinning, and pinching must be carried out in time, so that a disordered tree shape becomes a tree structure with orderly branches, good ventilation and light penetration, and a reasonable fruiting area.
