Pruning Young Apple Trees
Young apple trees should be pruned to establish a strong scaffold structure. Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant.
Pruning Peach Trees
Peach trees need pruning for size control and to encourage the growth of new fruit-bearing wood. Prune in late winter.
Pruning Plum Trees
Plum trees benefit from moderate pruning to remove interior shadows. Prune early spring or mid-summer to avoid silver leaf disease.
Pruning Pear Trees
Prune pear trees to establish a strong framework and spur development. Best pruned in late winter when dormant.
Pruning Mature Apple Trees
Mature apple trees require annual pruning to maintain health and maximize fruit production. Prune in late winter.
Pruning Cherry Trees
Cherry trees, especially sweet varieties, should be pruned to allow light into the canopy. Best pruned in late winter to early spring before bud break.
Pruning Citrus Trees
Citrus trees are generally pruned to remove diseased or dead wood and to shape the tree. Light pruning can be done anytime, major pruning should be done in early spring.
Pruning Pomegranate Trees
Pomegranates require little pruning. Remove dead or weak branches in late winter, and maintain shape.
