Tip-Top Pruning Services
Keeping your trees properly pruned is essential for guiding their growth and ensuring their long-term health.
Pruning is needed to reshape and manage their development over their life cycle. Pruning directs growth, improve structure, and removes any potential hazards like dead or diseased branches.

How, When and Why to Prune fruit trees - Apple Trees and More
How and WHen
Most fruit trees and plants are best trimmed in the late winter, before the new growing season begins.
Fruit trees will benefit from trimming all the watershoots and cutting back of old wood to the 3rd-5th node on each branch.
How About
Them Apples?
Apples grow on old wood, so by reducing the amount of watershoots and reducing the branch length, your apple tree can photosynthesize and send carbohydrates to the flower bloom that eventually become the apples.
Tree Health
You can still achieve a good fruit yield without annual pruning, but it is important to look for dead/diseased tree components, so it doesn’t spread to other parts of the tree or neighbouring ones.
For example, Black knot affects most fruit trees, and can spread as an airborne pathogen if not contained.
