Correct Methods and Technical Key Points for Flower and Fruit Thinning of Plum Trees
How do you carry out flower and fruit thinning on plum trees? Please give an introduction. For flower and fruit thinning of plum trees, you can refer to the following methods: (1) Most Brown varieties produce many flowers and have a high fruit-setting rate. Without flower and fruit thinning, they will bear fruit in clusters, the fruit size will be uneven, quality will decline, and fruiting in the following year will be affected. (2) Flower thinning. This is usually done before flowering by cutting back the flower-bearing branches in the middle, and removing overly dense short fruit branches.

(3) Fruit thinning. After fruit set, remove small fruit, densely set fruit, deformed fruit, diseased fruit, etc., maintaining a leaf-to-fruit ratio of 15-25:1, or leaving 1 fruit per 10-15 cm section of branch, with yield controlled within 1500-2000 kg per mu.
(4) Bagging. To prevent damage by pests, diseases, and birds, fruit bagging can be carried out to produce high-grade fruit.
