The days are getting longer and the sun is beginning to warm the earth. Some of us are looking at our fruit trees and dreaming of summer fruit. While your fruit trees are still in their dormant state it is a good idea to do some pruning. Now is the perfect time to make way for new growth and new fruit.
Why Trim Trees in their Dormancy?
Minimize disease and increase growth while they happily sleep.
Allow sunlight into the entire tree. Pruning trees in the center lets in the sun!
Trees without leaves are easier to trim than branches that are full of leaves.
Pruning makes your tree grow healthier and promotes more fruit.
In Conclusion!
Pruning your apple trees is an excellent way to reduce disease. Pruning promotes new and healthy growth. The benefits of more fruit in your basket will encourage you to continue to prune for years to come. After all, the sole purpose of an apple tree is to make another apple tree. Your sole purpose is lots of fruit and pruning gets the fruit in the bowl! Happy Pruning! Let me know how it goes and leave a comment or heart the blog. Have a great week, friend!
