Winter Apple and Pear Tree Maintenance

fruit tree maintenance is essential in winter

Winter is the ideal season to provide apple and pear trees with necessary care. This essential period is often neglected by gardeners, yet pruning in winter can prepare your trees for improved health and increased fruit production in spring.

We can help with pruning and assess the overall health of the tree so that you maximize the amount of fruit the tree will produce this summer.

Benefits of Winter Pruning

• Enhanced Air Circulation: Removing excess branches opens up the canopy. Better airflow reduces the risk of disease and allows sunlight to reach inner leaves.

• Improved Fruit Quality: Pruning encourages the development of larger, sweeter fruit. It directs energy to fewer branches, enhancing fruit production.

• Stronger Branches: By eliminating weak or crowded limbs, you promote stronger growth. Healthy branches can better support ripe fruit.
