Fruit trees require specialized pruning techniques to maximize their health and productivity.

At Auburn Tree & Shrub, we have extensive experience pruning apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, and blueberry plants to help homeowners achieve thriving, fruit-bearing trees.

Why Is Fruit Tree Pruning Important?

✔ Encourages Stronger Fruit Production – Proper pruning helps distribute sunlight evenly, leading to better fruit development.
✔ Prevents Disease & Pests – Removing dead or overcrowded branches improves airflow, reducing the risk of fungal infections and pests.
✔ Shapes the Tree for Longevity – A well-pruned tree is less likely to suffer from weak or broken limbs.
✔ Simplifies Harvesting – Proper pruning makes it easier to reach and pick your fruit when it’s ripe.

The Best Time for Fruit Tree Pruning

For most fruit trees, the best time to prune is when they are dormant, between November and April. This allows for strong, healthy growth in the spring without stressing the tree.

With years of experience in backyard orcharding and growing over 200 of our own apple trees, we’re passionate about helping customers get the most out of their fruit trees. Whether your trees need corrective pruning, shaping, or a complete rejuvenation, we can develop a plan tailored to your landscape.

Let’s get your fruit trees on the path to better growth and bigger harvests.
