About Fruit Tree & Citrus Pruning
Pruning Fruit and Citrus Trees
Do you have fruit trees that have been neglected, or you tried to prune them but didn't know what you were doing?
Do your trees have a lot of dead wood and branches where nothing is growing on them?
Would you like to take care of your fruit trees by giving them a professional pruning?
I have been pruning fruit trees for 10 ten years studied from some of the best, read many books, attended workshops and seminars on how to prune fruit tree correctly.
There is an art to prune fruit trees, not just simple shaping the outside branches. In fact if you do only that, you potentially can cause a lot of harm to the tree. Fruit tree should be prune back every year, even young trees, this encourages a strong root system.
Each time you cut a branch of a fruit tree you are telling the tree to grow.
So if you only cut the outside branches to shape to tree, the inside branches will grow and so will the outside branches grow to the inside.
What do you think you'll have in a year or two? You will have big chaotic mess on the inside where not much light will be able to get through. You'll have lots of cross branches, and a very hard time correcting the problem.
I do all my own work, I bid on the job and I'm the one who does the work, (I do hire strong young men on occasion to help with clean up).
I love what I do and I specialize in fruit trees.
Let me talk about the soil around your tree. You must fertilize the trees. How often? 3 times a year. once around Valentine's Day, another time Easter, and then around Labor day.
What do I use to fertilize? I use all organic soil amendments:
E.B. Stone Fruit Tree and Citrus Food
Oyster Shell Flour
Kelp Meal
Azomite (A to Z) minerals
Effective Microbes
liquid seaweed
Mix the amendments in with organic compost and lay it in a ring around the root system, not too close to the trunk of course
