1. Pruning for Apricot Trees
Usually, bend and prune apricot branches about a week after Tet for best results. Depending on size, type, and shape of your apricot tree, learn how to prune and use pruning techniques appropriately. You may also choose to cut lower branches longer than upper branches for a traditional look.
Most people prune one-third of the apricot branches to remove excess leaves and flowers. This helps the tree grow better and maintain a beautiful shape for next Tet.
Then, prepare 10 liters of water and add a tablespoon of urea to spray on the tree. This helps nourish and stimulate the tree's growth, aiding in effective apricot tree recovery.
Therefore, mix two types of pesticides containing Fipronil (Regent) and Hexaconazole (Anvil) after 10 days of spraying, then spray twice when the tree buds. The last time, spray when the leaves are just mature.
Mai Tree Hygiene
Don't forget to keep your mai tree clean to promote optimal growth. Cleaning is not difficult. Use a hose to wash away any mold around the tree or vigorously rub the tree to remove harmful molds.
Furthermore, dilute chemical substances like urea with water and spray them on areas with mold, then gently scrub these patches.
Shaping Techniques for Trees
Late July is the perfect time to shape your mai tree. Trim weak or unnecessary branches to prevent pest infestation. You can use fabric, zinc, lead, or copper wire to wrap around the tree to prevent damage.

First, shape the mai tree before bending to avoid harming it. Bend the mai tree in order from the trunk to the main branches, then to the surrounding branches. Make sure to bend larger branches first before smaller ones. Avoid bending the tree too tightly or too loosely. When using diagonal wrapping, ensure it reaches a 45-degree angle with the trunk's central axis. For spiral branches, bend them along the direction of the fixed wire with the tree bark.
