When Do Fruit Trees Need To Be Pruned?
The most common fruit trees are apple,
peach, pear and cherry.
- Apple Trees
Apple trees should be pruned in late winter or
early spring before new growth starts. Always remove all suckers (summer
is a great time). Also remove dead and other unproductive branches as
needed.
- Peach Trees
Peach trees are fast growing and need to be
pruned in winter. Without pruning the peaches will grow farther away
from the tree's center. This will put great strain on the branches,
causing them to break. In winter, thin out upward-growing branches that
cross in tree's center.
- Pear Trees
Prune back in early spring. Always prune dead
and unproductive branches as needed.
- Cherry Trees
Prune in winter. Prune out branches that cross
in center and dead unproductive branches as needed.
