Frequently Asked Questions
What time of year is best for orchard pruning?
For most fruit trees, late winter or very early spring is the ideal time to prune, just before the buds start to swell. This timing encourages vigorous new growth and minimises the risk of disease entering fresh cuts. However, some species, like apricots and cherries, benefit from lighter summer pruning to prevent disease. Knowing your tree type helps ensure pruning is timed perfectly.
Do fruit trees need pruning every year?
Yes, annual pruning is crucial for the ongoing health and productivity of orchard trees. Regular pruning helps manage the tree’s size, strengthens its structure and improves fruit size and quality. Neglecting pruning can lead to overcrowded branches, reduced yields and more disease issues. A consistent pruning schedule keeps your orchard thriving season after season.
Can pruning improve fruit quality?
Absolutely—thoughtful pruning directly improves the quality of fruit produced. By managing branch density and removing weak growth, more sunlight and energy reach the developing fruit. This results in larger, tastier, and better-coloured produce. Professional pruning shapes the tree for better yields while maintaining its long-term health and strength.
