Despite the need to begin training newly planted tree fruits right away, as well as annually prune existing fruit trees, many fruit-growing homeowners forego these important management tasks. They also tend to suffer from less damage and disease as the trees age. Ultimately, tree fruits that are properly trained and pruned perform better in the home garden because this process allows them to bear larger yields with higher quality. In fact, training and pruning have such a long list of benefits, they are home fruit management activities that you don’t want to skip! Winter is an excellent time to plant fruit trees, with February being an ideal time to train and prune any existing tree fruits in the landscape, such as apple, pear, peach and plum.
