Pruning and Planting Guidance for Orchardists
Orchardists should prune deciduous trees after sap rises, with June best for pruning fruit trees and July for roses. Evergreens and citrus are pruned in early spring. Use a keen blade and prune outward to keep the center open, leaving enough wood to support buds. The highest buds sprout first, shaping a strong framework over years. Remove crowded laterals and weak shoots. avoid overcutting leading to decay. Planting should spread bases at planting time and maintain open centers. Hawthorn and flowers like narcissus family are noted. plant flowering fruit trees and bulbs now for spring bloom. Delay risks reduce flowering and tree health.
