Notes on Pruning Fruit Trees


Notes on Pruning Fruit TreesOn August 5, 2023, Marla Koss, one of ABG’s fruit tree pruning experts, demonstrated winter dormant and citrus pruning which also helped Farm2Market in Alameda at the same time.

She discussed the best methods for keeping your stone fruit trees in good shape via summer pruning and other tree care tips. The focus in this two-hour session was on caring for cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, and those newly-popular genetic dwarf peaches and nectarines.
