The invention relates to the planting field of plants, and provides a
pruning method with picking instead of shearing suitable for green pricklyash. The method comprises the steps that from the first ten-day period of July to the third ten-day period of July, the mode of picking instead of
pruning is used for
cutting the
branch part, 10-15 centimeters from the root portion of a
branch to the upper portion, of a whole
plant of the green pricklyash, the
pruning mode is heavy pruning, a pruning opening of the
branch after heavy pruning is smooth and flat, the pruning opening can heal quickly, the green pricklyash after heavy pruning can be promoted to regrow, young sprouts are promoted to grow quickly, the number of left stumps of a grown tree is 40-50, shoots
bud in 10 days after pruning, 3-5 shoots can but on each stump, 120-150 shoots can be kept in the entire tree, outer-expanding and inner-hollowing pruning is carried out through the pruning mode of picking instead of pruning, pinching and layering are conducted on the shoots when the shoots grow to the third ten-day period of November every year, the shoots are made to change from vegetative growth into reproductive growth, and the change of flower
bud differentiation is promoted to be formed. The pruning method can achieve short
plant close planting of the green pricklyash tree, tree forms can be changed, picking difficulty is small, and picking work efficiency is high.
