The shaping and pruning techniques for red-fleshed honey pomelo trees are essential for developing a strong, well-structured canopy that supports high yields and long-term productivity. Based on the tree's natural growth characteristics, two primary shaping methods are commonly used: the "main branch round head" shape and the "natural happy" shape.
For the **main branch round head** style, the goal is to create a balanced, symmetrical structure with a central main trunk and evenly spaced branches. In the first year, seedlings are pruned to 35 cm, and the strongest, most uniformly distributed shoots (about 25 cm from the ground) are selected as the main branches. The rest are removed, and the main branches are trained to grow at an appropriate angle. As the tree matures, further pruning focuses on removing weak or thin branches, encouraging the development of strong lateral branches and ensuring even distribution of foliage. This method promotes good light penetration and facilitates easier fruit management.
In contrast, the **natural happy** shape mimics the tree’s natural growth pattern, allowing for more flexibility in branch arrangement. It emphasizes maintaining balance between the growth potential of different branches, avoiding overly dense or uneven structures. Pruning involves careful removal of upright, inward-growing shoots and managing the angles of the main branches to prevent excessive vertical growth. This approach helps maintain a more open, three-dimensional canopy, which enhances fruiting efficiency and reduces disease risk.
When shaping young trees, it is important to consider several key factors:
1. **Trunk height**: A shorter trunk allows the tree to develop its canopy faster, promoting early fruiting. For red-fleshed pomelo, the trunk is typically kept around 25–35 cm.
2. **Number of main branches**: Too many main branches can lead to competition for nutrients, so it's best to limit them to 3–5, depending on the tree's vigor and orchard conditions.
3. **Branch angles**: Proper angles ensure strong, stable growth. For the round head shape, the main branches should be angled between 40°–50°, while for the natural happy shape, the upper branches are more horizontal, and the lower ones are slightly inclined.
4. **Leaf retention**: During shaping, it's crucial to retain as many leaves as possible to support photosynthesis and promote healthy growth.
Pruning of young trees involves techniques like tipping and selective removal of shoots to encourage branching and control growth. Summer and autumn shoots are carefully managed to avoid excessive length and ensure even distribution. For mature trees, pruning focuses on removing diseased or weak branches, controlling fruit load, and maintaining an open canopy for better light exposure.
For aging trees, rejuvenation pruning is essential. This may involve updating old branches, removing dead wood, and retraining the canopy to restore vigor and productivity. Effective pruning not only improves fruit quality but also extends the tree's lifespan, making it a vital practice for long-term orchard management.
