There are many benefits that come from pruning your fruit trees in Sidney, BC. Pruning helps increase fruit production and improves the quality of the fruit. The removal of old wood allows for this to happen, as air circulation improves, and the tree can put its resources towards healthy new growth. Pruning will also help prevent disease and pests, by removing infected areas and allowing more sunlight to reach all branches which discourages the growth of fungi and other harmful organisms. Pruning will also make it easier to harvest the fruit, and will keep it to your desired shape and size. Proper pruning is crucial for fruit trees as they tend to have a very long lifespan.
