The fruit woodcut cannot do without it. For the skillful shape and maintenance cut, the special cutting technique should also be part of the horticultural repertoire. This guide will familiarize you with the correct procedure for the perfect lead cut.

With the derivation pruning, the growth can be optimally regulated

    3. What is the goal of a derivation section?

    If you simply shorten a tree crown that has grown too large, you will achieve the exact opposite of a crown reduction. It forms at numerous interfaces intense juice jam, the one strong new growth caused. By redirecting the flow of sap from the main shoot, which has grown too long, to a younger, vital side branch, growth is stimulated to a much lesser extent. From then on, the wood uses the excess energy to increase the growth of buds of all kinds.

    Resourceful tree pruning experts have developed the derivation pruning for the targeted regulation of growth forces. As shown in the figure below, use the scissors or saw exactly where the older, senile branch and its younger counterpart branch out.

    With the diversion pruning, redirect the sap flow to a younger branch that is garnished with at least 2 buds.

    This is how a fruit tree benefits from the derivative pruning

    In order to motivate a fruit tree to produce maximum fruit in the yield phase, the home gardener should be familiar with the derivation pruning. Direct the flow of juice into young fruit canes and vital fruit skewers so that the growth forces do not flow into worn, senile shoots or those that are sparsely decorated with flower buds.

    The figure below demonstrates the correct cut using the example of a fruit shoot. Before the cut, the old, worn branch leans down significantly. Fruits are hardly to be expected here. For the young fruit branch above, the forecasts for a rich harvest look better. By the senile branch derive at the junction on the young wood, the fruit tree is cut at this point with one tapered.

    A correctly executed derivation cut is always accompanied by a local rejuvenation to new fruiting wood.

    tips

    Derived pruning is the perfect pruning technique for trimming the crown or shrub. To ensure that the growth height is maintained and continues as desired, do not cut back the shoot tip. Only sprawling branches are diverted to an upright, young side shoot. There is no appreciable accumulation of sap and new growth is minimal, so that the original character of the tree or shrub remains unchanged.
