Winter Pruning fruit trees is KEY to the health and structure of your backyard fruit trees. While summer pruning fruit trees focuses on keeping the overall size in check, winter pruning focuses on detail pruning. You're looking to avoid pests, disease, and structural issues by pruning any wood that is Dead, Dying, Diseased, Damaged, or Deformed. This is made easier without all the foliage and flowers in the way. Removing this wood removes entry points for bugs and diseases, as well as spurring on new, healthy growth. I started my pruning a little late, so I'm having to wait for some flowers to fruit before pruning my "Arctic Star" nectarine and my "Dorsett Golden" apple. Now get pruning!

There isn't anything magical to pruning fruit trees in winter. Pruning apple trees in winter is the same as pruning other types of fruit trees. In fact, pruning trees of any kind, whether pruning apple trees, pruning fruit trees, pruning peach trees, or pruning cherry trees, all rely on the same principles. A fruit tree will respond to pruning with newer, more healthy growth. Fruit trees are resilient, and far from damaging a tree, winter pruning removes problem wood to keep problems from happening to begin with. The typical home orchard wonders when to prune, desperate for pruning tips, or any kind of tree care for their backyard orchard. Your farmstead or hobby farm (like what we've got) needs some attention, and it helps to know how to prune your home orchard. This video does serve as an initial fruit tree pruning guide, which works for pruning fruit trees for beginners, (like us pruning fruit trees in California). Fruit tree care starts with getting to know your trees, and this will make pruning your nectarine, pruning cherry trees, pruning peach trees less scary. You've got this!
