The beautiful krone of house lemon not only is pleasing to the eye the ideal form, but also promotes receiving good harvest. Considering biological features of development and growth of plant, it is necessary to form deciduous cover so that the tree received enough light and air and also annually and is abundant fructified.
Instruction
1. Begin to form tree krone as soon as possible. It is possible to Prishchipyvat and cut off branches in the first year of life of plant when height of escape reaches 20 centimeters. Start forming of krone at the end of February - the beginning of March, before active annual growth: at this time cut off side escapes and tops of trunk, and then during the spring and summer to branch prishchipyvayta, growing behind borders of the form chosen for krone.
2. Cut off zero, i.e. very first escape, having left on it 4-5 well developed kidneys. When from them powerful branches of the first order 10-15 cm long, their prishchipnita develop. To prishchipyvayta or cut off escapes of the subsequent orders so that their length was 5 cm less than length of parental escapes. Finish forming of krone on escapes of the fourth order, enough for giving to lemon of curvy beautiful shape is normal it. Further look after tree, keeping the chosen krone shape.
3. Do not cut off too many escapes at the same time, it stimulates the sharp growth of the so-called fattening branches or arrows on which new kidneys do not appear.
4. Do not allow fructification until the tree krone is created. For this purpose delete flowers and ovaries, thereby leaving to force lemon for the active growth of branches and leaves. On the created krone do not allow surplus of fruits as too large number of ovaries can lead to tree disease, exhaustion and to slow down its growth. After the end of blossoming remove excess ovaries, having left future fruits which are evenly located on krone: not less than 12-14 leaves have to fall on each ovary.
5. Provide uniform watering and illumination to your tree that the krone was beautiful and volume. If one party of bush looks flattened, turn plant the damaged side to luminous source if it is possible. To help foliage to be leveled, water the soil from this party more carefully.
