Clever pruning of apricot trees can effectively delay flowering
The buds of apricot trees have extremely strong precocity and a high capacity for recovery. If heavy pruning is done appropriately in winter, combined with tip pruning in summer, it can encourage 2 to 3 rounds of secondary shoots to sprout in summer and autumn. On the three levels of new shoots - spring, summer and autumn - flower buds at different stages of development will form, and the flowering period in early spring will be greatly extended, which will reduce the chance of frost...
