Pruning Your Fruit Trees in the Dormant Season



The above video is a good guide about pruning practices for fruit trees.

*One thing this video does not mention is to never remove more than 1/3 of the overall growth during a growing season, to do so causes stress to the tree leaving it susceptible to disease, insect problems and deline in health.

Pruning fruit trees is a big job, but one that pays great dividends. I have many apple trees here to tend to IF if ever stops snowing. I loved your older post about The Galloping Gardener, too, such beautiful gardens!
