Spring is coming, and fruit farmers are very busy. Most of the fruit trees here are apples, peaches, pears, hawthorn, persimmons, cherries and so on. Apples and pears are higher, but they should be controlled at about 3 meters at most, not too high. Besides, there is a large wasteland behind my house. When I was eight or nine years old, my grandfather planted a big persimmon tree in the backyard. As we all know, some varieties of persimmon grow tall, while others grow short. But I don't know why grandpa always shortens persimmon trees every time he prunes leaves. Many of us are like this. Why do some fruit farmers like short fruit trees?

First of all, most fruit trees now choose dwarf varieties. Fruit trees are short, thick and strong, which is the goal pursued by large growers. Dwarf fruit trees have high seed setting rate and no extra branches to absorb nutrients. Therefore, close planting with low stems and short crowns is the development direction of fruit trees at present, and it is also because fruit trees are perennial economic trees with high input and high output. Moreover, dwarf fruit trees are relatively small in size, which can not only be planted reasonably close, but also make up for the lack of fruit, which is beneficial to branch management. It can be said that managing branches is one of the busy farm work of fruit farmers' friends. In the end, it is more convenient to pick them without climbing high, which is dangerous and laborious. Therefore, the purpose of dwarfing fruit trees by fruit farmers is to facilitate the pruning and management of orchards.

In addition, stunted fruit trees will develop in a balanced way in nutrition and reproduction. These trees grow moderately and have good yield, quality and benefit. Therefore, most farmers like to plant dwarf fruit trees. Seeing this, you must not think that cutting down short fruit trees can achieve high yield. In order to obtain high yield, besides reasonable pruning, we should also learn to water the fruit trees reasonably. It is suggested that the aboveground parts of fruit trees should be watered and not flooded, especially in high temperature weather and fruit expansion period. In addition, by cutting buds, premature delivery can be promoted, tree balance can be adjusted, and branch growth can be balanced.

In short, the fruit quality of dwarf fruit trees is better. By pruning the crown, the nutrients absorbed by the roots of dwarf fruit trees can be fully utilized by the fruits. If you grow very tall, you will naturally use some soil and water nutrients in the wrong place, and the fruit will be sour and small. Of course, the premise is to make the fruit trees reach the average plant height. In short, the advantages of dwarfing fruit trees outweigh the disadvantages, so fruit farmers will like dwarfing fruit trees. Of course, if you want to get high returns, you can't simply cut it. You need to cooperate with others!
