The process of trimming trees is a responsible business. Each type of plants requires an individual approach, so it is important to know all the nuances not to make mistakes. Trees are beginning to be fruit thanks to the generative kidney. To increase the amount of fruit branches (flouring), it is necessary to increase their quantity due to the decrease in the number of growth escapes.

Main types of trim trees
Thanks to the pruning, not only yield, but also the life of the tree is increasing. There are 3 main types:- Rejuvenating trimming. Made for old trees. It can be a cardinal, haunter or gradual. It increases the period of fruiting.
- Sanitary. This option is carried out due to damage to the branches. At this point, shoots that grow inside the crown are also removed.
- Forming. It is done to give the crown of a tree of a certain shape so that the branches grew stronger, and the leaves are greater. Thanks to this, the plant begins to be fruit earlier and better.
Experts recommend trimming trees smoothly, for several seasons, controlling the changes of the tree. For the most part, fruiting depends on the correctly cropped crown. Based on a particular tree and even varieties, shoots should be cut on a specific length. If you cut more than you need, then you can stay at all without a crop.
Formation of the crown of trees to improve fruiting
On average, the central conductor at a seedling is cut off by 50-80 cm. In the case of escapes on the sides, it is enough to choose 4 pieces of the strongest in four sides of the light. It is necessary to cut them about a third. If the side is not, then it follows the next spring.

Next will need to make the removal of damaged and dry branches.
What are the trees fruit?Each tree individually forms floral kidneys. Moreover, even different varieties can form them at different places. Therefore, during the acquisition of a seedling, you need to ask the consultant:
- For example, a pear and an apple tree lay the fruit kidneys at the ends or horizontal fruit branches;
- The bush cherry is fruit at the tips of the fruit branches of the growth of last year;
- The tree cherry is also fruitful on the growth of last year;
- Quince fruits on annual escapes, if young and perennial branches, if old;
- Based on the grade of cherry, it can bloom for 1-3 years of shoots of shoots;
- Plum fertures on short last year or two-year escapes;
- Peach fertures exclusively on the growth of last year;
- Apricot also brings fruit on the growth since last year.
