#Pruned Trees

Post the word PRUNE for a free resource on pruning 🌳✂️🍎 Here are 3 simple steps to prune a large fruit tree 👇 1️⃣ Remove over-vigorous growth like water sprouts shooting straight up through the center. If they’re thick, grab a handsaw and take them out. 2️⃣ Use your pruning shears to clear crossing, rubbing, damaged, or inward-growing branches. Step back, take breaks, and get fresh perspective as you go 👀 3️⃣ Reduce the height. I keep my trees at 8 feet so harvesting is easy 🙌 Use loppers to bring tall branches back into reach. Big trees are fun… until you can’t pick the fruit 😅 Shoutout to @gorillaproducts for the epic heavy duty dump cart hauling all those branches 💪🛒🌿 #fruittrees #homeorchard #pruningtips #gardeninglife #growyourown

What questions do you have about pruning fruit trees? 🍐✂️ Here are the first things I remove when pruning a pear tree. 🌱 Water sprouts that shoot straight up through the center and crowd the tree ✂️ Old pruning nubs that never healed correctly 🌿 Branches that cross and rub against each other Clearing these out helps open the tree, improves airflow, and sets it up for healthier growth and better fruit. And don’t forget… sometimes those super vigorous shoots need to be taken all the way back to the branch.

Have you seen this kind of damage on your fruit trees? 🍎🌳 Here are 3 super common types I see all the time and how to fix them 👇 1️⃣ Broken branches Prune back to the next healthy bud so a new branch can grow out. 2️⃣ Dead stubs from poor pruning Cut at a 45 degree angle just above a healthy branch so it can properly heal over. 3️⃣ Torn bark from pulling branches down There’s not much you can do besides let it heal, but it will create a weak spot. Be careful when pruning. Drop a 1, 2, or 3 in the comments if you’ve seen this on your trees 👇🍑 #FruitTrees #PruningTips #HomeOrchard #GardenCare #BackyardGrowing

What else do you look for when pruning your fruit trees? 🌳✂️ Don’t skip crossing branches. When they rub, they create wounds that invite bugs and disease. 🐛🦠 Remove one branch or redirect it so it grows outward instead of across. Also check for old damage like cicada scars. 🪲 Weak spots can snap when loaded with fruit. Strong structure now, better harvest later. 🍎 #FruitTreeCare #PruningTips #BackyardOrchard #HomeOrchard #GrowYourOwnFood

What questions you got about pruning? 🌳✂️ One of the biggest newbie mistakes is cutting to the wrong bud 😬 Fruit trees want to grow outward, not into the center 🌞 Always prune to an outward facing bud so your branches open up and stay healthy 🌱 Cut about a quarter inch above the bud at a 45 degree angle and let the tree do the rest 💪🍎 Drop your pruning questions in the comments 👇 #fruittrees #pruningtips #orchardlife #backyardorchard
