The invention discloses a tree form suitable for reconstruction of a Xinjiang close planting date garden and a
pruning method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of agricultural gardening. The tree form of each date tree is designed as follows: the tree height is 1.8-2.5m; the
trunk height is 40-45cm; 18-20 secondary branches are distributed in a spirally staggered manner along a central leader and grow on 3
layers; the first layer has 6-7 secondary branches, the length is kept at 7-9 knots, and the
branching angle is 70-80 degrees or a natural one; the second layer has 7-8 secondary branches, the length is kept at 8-9 knots, and the
branching angle is 80-90 degrees; the third layer has 4-5 secondary branches, the length is kept at 5-6 knots, and the
branching angle is 100-110 degrees; the interlayer spacing is 25-35cm; and a tree crown appears as a layered cylindrical one with a bigger lower part and a smaller upper part. According to the invention, the
crown form is reduced, thereby solving the problem of poor ventilation and
light transmission after the date trees in a Xinjiang ultra-high-density close planting date garden are mature; the space is fully utilized for fruiting, so that the number of fruiting date spurs is increased, thereby solving the problem of fruiting part offset of the date trees; the shaping and
pruning technology is simplified, and the labor cost is lowered; and the suitable tree form is provided for
mechanization management of the Xinjiang close planting date garden.
