The right pruning of trees ensures abundant flowering and a rich fruit harvest.
The timing is crucial.
Find out here which trees should be cut in late summer.
Every gardener has to use a saw or secateurs on a regular basis.
Because if trees are left to grow wild, they sprout in all directions, displace other plants and a high-yield harvest is also endangered.
But when is the best time to cut trees?
The ideal time is usually spring, but the last moves in winter are usually used for pruning trees.
But the same does not apply to all woody plants:
There are tree species that can cope much better with cutting in late summer *.
These include:
The walnut tree
: The walnut is one of the woody plants that have a high root pressure in spring, as the portal
My beautiful garden
informs.
It is therefore better not to circumcise it at this time, because otherwise the cuts will “bleed” a lot - that is, a lot of water will come out of the cut.
Between mid-August and the end of September, however, the juice pressure is much weaker.
The sweet cherry
: Even with sweet cherries, a cut in late summer means that the cut wounds heal better and faster.
As the
garden journal
portal
informs, the sweet cherry should be cut in August after the harvest.
A cut in spring, on the other hand, stimulates the growth of the already vigorous wood.
The birch
: The birch, like the walnut tree, “bleeds” heavily when it is pruned in spring.
During this time,
according to
My Beautiful Garden
, it should only be cut if the garden owner wants to obtain birch water, which is said to have health-promoting effects.
In order to avoid the strong flow of sap, it is better to cut the birch back in late summer.
