The invention discloses a Y-shaped weeping
willow-shaped
apple tree and a
pruning method thereof. The tree comprises a main
trunk and two central leading trunks on the main
trunk, the two central leading trunks face line space, the included angle between the central leading trunks is 25-35 degrees, and the main
trunk and the two central leading trunks form a Y shape; 20-30 main branches are grown on each central leading trunk, the angle of each
main branch is 120-130 degrees in average, and the interval of each two main branches in different heights is at least 25cm; fruit bearing branches are directly grown on the main branches, and the fruit bearing branches are in drooping state and similar to weeping
willow under the action of gravity after fruit bearing. The Y-shaped weeping
willow-shaped tree can bear fruits 2-3 years earlier than fine spindle-shaped trees and high spindle-shaped trees, the yield is increased by 10%-20%, and labor force of an
orchard is reduced by about 40%. According to the Y-shaped weeping willow-shaped
apple tree and the
pruning method thereof, the tree shape is a novel shape that is suitable for
dwarfing stock close planting apple orchards, and cultivation of national apple
dwarfing stock and wide-row close planting is facilitated.
