Red pomelo pomelo

Pruning and managing young citrus trees is essential for promoting healthy growth and ensuring a strong, productive canopy. One key technique involves the removal of young shoots, known as "tipping." This process begins when new shoots reach 2 to 3 cm in length during summer and autumn. These shoots are manually removed every 3 to 4 days, encouraging the growth of more vigorous shoots. After about 15 to 20 days, the remaining shoots should have 3 to 4 new shoots, at which point tipping can be stopped to allow natural growth. To maintain uniformity, all buds must be completely removed the day before new shoots emerge. Any short shoots that appear quickly should also be eliminated. For taller branches, it’s advisable to remove them 1 or 2 times, spaced 4 to 7 days apart, allowing new shoots to grow longer. Over time, this helps balance the tree's crown. Typically, three growth periods occur annually—spring, summer, and autumn. Summer shoots are usually pruned mid-June, while autumn shoots are managed in mid-August. By the third or fourth year after planting, fruiting begins. For trees preparing for the next season’s fruit, attention should be given to both summer and autumn shoots. The number and quality of autumn shoots depend on the previous summer’s growth. If summer shoots are pruned too late, they may become weak and fewer in number, leading to reduced autumn shoot production. Conversely, well-managed summer shoots result in stronger autumn growth. It’s recommended that 40–50% of spring shoots develop into summer shoots, and 70–80% of those become autumn shoots. Tipping should be coordinated with fertilization. Apply organic fertilizer 20–30 days before the pruning period, followed by nitrogen fertilizer just before the tip growth begins. This ensures dense, healthy new shoots. However, excessive nitrogen on autumn shoots can lead to late growth, which may weaken the tree. Ideal conditions include cool, rainy weather and sufficient soil moisture. Avoid pruning during hot, dry periods and focus on preventing leaf miners. When shoots grow to 5–6 cm and become too dense, thinning is necessary. Leave 2–3 shoots per base tip, with fall shoots allowed to stay more. Too many shoots result in weak growth, while too few cause elongation. For red meat pomelo, autumn shoots should ideally measure 20–30 cm. Winter shoots should be removed entirely. For fruit-bearing trees, pruning methods vary depending on age and fruiting stage. Winter pruning occurs after harvest and before new growth begins. It focuses on removing dead, diseased, or weak branches, as well as crossing or declining ones. This helps balance the tree’s energy and promotes strong mother branches for consistent yields. During the early fruiting phase, ensure the canopy develops properly. Select and extend main and sub-main branches, and prune excess fruit to speed up canopy formation. Oblique transverse branches should be pruned to minimize fruiting and encourage canopy expansion. Remove inner shoots and top-heavy summer/autumn growth, leaving 1–2 diagonally growing shoots per branch. Keep lower and inner branches to promote flowering, and cut off any branches within 30–40 cm of the ground to prevent disease. Short spring shoots (up to 15 cm) and the removal of summer shoots help reduce fruit drop, increase effective fruiting, and control pests and diseases. For mature fruiting trees, the canopy should be three-dimensional, with a balanced, open structure. Maintain a wavy shape, ensuring light penetration and spacing between trees. Remove branches that shade lower parts, and avoid overlapping upper and lower branches. A naturally happy-shaped canopy requires careful topping, short cuts, and removal of dense or weak branches. When the top becomes too thick, selectively prune strong branches to maintain tree shape. Lower canopy branches that interfere with neighboring trees should be trimmed or bent, not removed. Weak or leafless branches after fruiting can be cut from the base. Within the canopy, remove dead, weak, or diseased branches. Pruning should combine debriding, short cuts, retraction, and removal of cross or over-closed branches. Both stems and fruits consume assimilation materials. Citrus trees require significant energy for growth, with older trees using more resources for branches than fruits. As trees age, leaf area stabilizes, but branches increase, making nutrient transport less efficient. If the canopy becomes too dense, internal branches die, reducing yield. Therefore, regularly update branches, trim weaker ones, and improve light penetration to rejuvenate the tree. Winter pruning occurs after fruit harvest until spring shoots appear. Remove redundant branches, gradually reducing the number each year. Trim the top of the canopy and cross-branches, keeping the tree height below 3.5 meters with at least 20 cm between rows. Cut strong, long, or dense branches affecting light. Branches 1–2.5 cm in diameter should be shortened, with stubs left for future growth. Pendulous branches should be pruned carefully, leaving 5–10 cm stumps. Annual pruning should account for 25–30% of total branches. Summer pruning is typically done in late May, focusing on removing dense or overlapping branches, controlling autumn shoot growth, and eliminating summer shoots. For aging trees, timely rejuvenation is crucial. Weak, dry, or sparse growth indicates the need for updates—either of main branches, explicit branches, or through rotation. Proper canopy management, including sun protection, bud thinning, and pest control, is vital for successful recovery.
