Pruning helps shape the tree and encourages new growth, leading to more abundant and higher-quality fruit.

Statistics indicate that professional pruning can significantly increase fruit yield and improve the quality of harvests. For example, apple trees that are pruned annually produce up to 30% more fruit, while pruning also reduces disease incidence by removing infected branches. The process typically takes a professional approximately one to two hours per tree, depending on the size and condition of the tree.

The pruning process involves several steps, starting with assessing the tree’s structure, removing dead or diseased wood, and shaping the canopy for optimal sun exposure. Proper pruning techniques include making clean cuts at the right angles and avoiding excessive removal of foliage, which can stress the tree. Professionals use their expertise to ensure the health and productivity of the fruit trees are maximized.
