Effective Fruit Tree Trimming for Better Harvests
Regular trimming helps increase fruit yield, improves tree health, and reduces the risk of disease.
Late winter and early spring are ideal for trimming, but late November and early December can also be effective for preparing for the upcoming growing season.
Pruning shears, loppers, and saws are essential tools for effective fruit tree trimming.
Proper disposal or composting of trimmings helps maintain a clean orchard and can provide organic matter for soil enrichment.
