Early spring, before bud break, is generally considered the best time to prune fruit and nut trees. Spring is a good time if you are wanting to restructure the canopy which will result in new growth and more abundant fruiting.
Summer pruning is an option. It is typically done to maintain the shape of the tree and encourage sunlight penetration. We also recommend thinning fruit in the growing season to prevent limb breakage due to heavy fruit and mast weight.
Our ISA Certified Arborists can help you to determine which of these is better suited to meet your goals.
In addition, we offer an Annual Care Plan for Fruit Trees – a hassle-free way to ensure that your trees get the expert attention they need, year after year.
