Here are 3 times you do NOT want to be pruning your fruit trees πŸ‘‡πŸŽ

❄️ When it’s freezing
Pruning below freezing can cause cold damage. Wait until daytime temps are around 40 to 50Β°F

🌧️ When it’s raining
Wet weather spreads fungal disease. Always prune when trees are dry

🌸 When buds start to swell
Once the tree wakes up, pruning can cause bark slippage and real damage

I’m also speaking at a 3 day live Summit Jan 20 to 22 🎀

What fruit trees are you pruning this winter? πŸŒ³βœ‚οΈ

When you make thinning cuts, remove the whole branch but stop at the branch collar. That little ridge helps the tree heal fast and stay healthy πŸ’ͺ🌱 Cut too far and you slow everything down.

Clean cuts now mean stronger growth later πŸŽπŸ‘

What questions you got about pruning? πŸŒ³βœ‚οΈ

One of the biggest newbie mistakes is cutting to the wrong bud 😬
Fruit trees want to grow outward, not into the center 🌞
Always prune to an outward facing bud so your branches open up and stay healthy 🌱

Cut about a quarter inch above the bud at a 45 degree angle and let the tree do the rest πŸ’ͺ🍎

What other questions you got about pruning fruit trees? πŸŒ³βœ‚οΈ

First thing I always cut are water sprouts 🌱 They grow straight up, don’t produce fruit 🍎🚫, steal energy, and block airflow which can lead to disease 😬

Bonus πŸ‘‰ you can prune them anytime πŸ‘ And yes, the cat insists on supervising πŸˆβ€β¬› πŸ˜‚
