In this video, I share why you must prune your trees every year! Pruning trees is critical for health, vigor, performance and productivity. This is true of all trees, but especially flowering trees and fruit trees. Pruning fruit trees and pruning flowering trees is mandatory to maximize fruit production and blooming. This will stimulate more fruit and faster growth!

Many people fail to prune trees annually, because they believe pruning a tree harms the tree. The exact opposite is true. Pruning trees, especially fruiting and flowering trees, stimulates the growth of new, vigorous, flowering and fruit-bearing wood, resulting in a stronger, healthier tree in a smaller form factor. Failing to prune trees results in trees accumulating dead wood susceptible to pests, allows inward growth that stifles airflow and promotes diseases, and reduces a tree's lifespan. Pruning a tree is the most important thing you can do to support that tree's health and productivity while controlling its growth.
