The biggest difference between the short branch Fuji and the long branch is that the short branch is easier to flower. Usually a branch can flower from the top to the base. Too many flowers will consume a lot of nutrients, which is harmful to the growth of the branch. In addition, it will affect the spread of branches. Therefore, all flower buds within 30 cm can be combed out to ensure better extension and growth of branches.
Short branch Fuji often stops growing early, branches are short, leaf area is small, and fruit expansion is easy to be limited, so fruit expansion is unfavorable. In production, more attention should be paid to promoting the germination of branches, expanding the area of leaves, and increasing the fruits. When pruning, only one bud should be left at a distance of 5 to 7 buds. Weak flower buds can break the embryo. This can not only reduce the excessive consumption of flower buds, but also promote the short and medium branches, increase the leaf area, and make the fruit better.
If there are too many branches, the branches are too scattered, which is not conducive to the growth of trees. Therefore, to control the number of branches, the number of branches per mu should be controlled between 60000 and 70000. If there are too many branches, they should be pruned in time. Just prune the big branches and the old branches after bearing.
