This pruning also promotes year after year of good harvests (some fruit trees gravitate toward alternating years of feast and famine) and - most important - makes for the most luscious fruits.
Annual pruning keeps these trees healthy and keeps fruit within reach. Most fruit trees need to be pruned (correctly) every year. As is renovative pruning, which is the pruning of long-neglected trees. The objectives and, hence, pruning of a young tree are another ball game. I mentioned flower buds, so these plants I’m pruning are mature, bearing plants.
Again, this is “dormant pruning.” Yes, even though the trees’ flower buds are about to burst or have already done so, their response will still, for a while longer, be that to dormant pruning. Following last week’s missive about pruning fruiting shrubs, I now move on to pruning my fruiting trees.
