Rowan berries are famous for their healing properties, so it is not surprising that summer residents struggle year after year to get a bountiful harvest.
A procedure called pruning helps them with this.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , pruning of rowan should be done in the spring before the buds wake up.
During the procedure, you will have to remove all dried shoots, as well as those on which signs of disease were found and which grow inward to the crown.
Branches growing at right angles should also be removed.
Don't forget to thin out those branches that bear fruit on last year's stems.
Remember: your goal is to improve the uniformity of illumination of the crown - it is thanks to this factor that we can count on an increase in yield.
In the process of forming skeletal branches, make every effort to ensure that they are brought out at a right or obtuse angle, and if the growth is weak, engage in rejuvenating pruning. 2-3-year-old crops are subjected to the "operation", as a result of which the growth of new shoots is activated on them.
