Peach Tree Pruning: Instructions From The Expert<\/a><\/p>\nThe following steps are necessary:<\/p>\n
1. Shorten the side shoots:<\/strong> First, the side shoots growing to the side of the plum or plum tree column are shortened to 20 to 40 centimeters. So these branch out further and form fruit buds. The best time for this work is early summer.<\/p>\n2. Shorten the central shoot:<\/strong> The plum tree should also be limited in height. To do this, the central shoot is shortened: The cut is made in June to slow down growth. In addition, it is made at a height of about 80 centimeters on the central shoot, so that the growth of the supporting side shoots is stimulated. The top branches are also cut back to two to three buds. The shortening can be increased by 50 centimeters every year until the column has reached the final height you want.<\/p>\n![\"Pruning](\")

In the days after cutting, the tree should therefore be checked regularly for signs of disease. In addition, it is often recommended to seal interfaces from a diameter of three centimeters with a wound tree wax from a specialist retailer.
