Delicious Fruit Tree Pruning

Pruning fruit trees comes down to a handful of rules and some basic priorities.

Pruning is actually fairly straightforward:

Remove the dead, dying, and diseased
Ensure light can reach the fruit
Ensure the tree can bear the load
Prune now for four years down the road

Long life

We take the long view when it comes to your fruit trees. Yes, you want fruit this season. But you also want fruit in five or ten or more years.

Abundant fruit

You want the best-tasting, most abundant fruit possible. Bigger isn’t always better. More isn’t always better. Delicious abundance is the goal.

Accessible

You know what’s better than picking cherries from your own tree on a ladder? …picking cherries from your own tree with your feet on the ground! The right pruning means leaving the ladder in the shed at harvest time.

Simplicity

Your fruit trees don’t need to be a gnarly mess. Pruning them need not be rocket science. We strive to make your trees look neat and tidy, ready to bear the fruit you love.
