At the beginning of the new gardening season, one important procedure needs to be carried out with chokeberry.
Aronia is grown as a food, medicinal and ornamental plant. The fruits of the plant contain many different physiologically active substances.
However, in order for the plant to consistently produce a good harvest, it must be looked after. Experienced gardeners never forget about this important spring procedure.
Action should be taken at the beginning of a new period of the year, before the sap flow processes become active. At the same time, the soil should already be free of snow by that time.
We are talking about pruning chokeberry. The main principle is to remove trunks and shoots that bear fruit for more than 10 years. In general, summer residents rely on the climate in their region. The harsher it is, the faster the plant wears out.
An adult plant needs 10-12 skeletal branches. Then only sanitary pruning is carried out.
Remove weak and diseased shoots, thin out the crown so that light can better penetrate into the middle. Thanks to this, flower buds will also be formed there.
