Abstract
Research on the influence of different summer pruning methods on plum growth and development was carried out, The results were: compared to traditional non-pruning method,the treatment of cutting spring branch by one third and topping can bring fewer spring branches and stimulate growth of the secondary branches: 2.2 to 2.6 secondary branches (longer than 30 cm) emerged from per spring branch. And the numbers of flower and fruit were also increased.
