Dormant-season pruning urged by Kern advisor
N. D. Hudson, farm advisor of Kern county, says tree pruning should be confined to the dormant season.

Leaves green support food storage and cold resistance for next spring, with exceptions for non-irrigated orchards and areas with early fall rains or sticky soils.
