Reasons for Pruning

Reduce tree size

Control tree shape

Make trees structurally strong

Page 4: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Reasons for Pruning

Improve light penetration Flower bud initiation

Fruit color

Pest control

Page 5: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Reasons for Pruning Removal of diseased

wood Fruit rot control

Page 6: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Reasons for Pruning

Partially reduce crop load

Facilitate cultural operations

Page 7: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Reasons for Pruning

Keep the crop close to the ground

Page 8: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

What happens if you do not prune?

Earlier fruiting

Less light penetration

Poor spray coverage

More difficult to manage

When to Prune

Dormant season

Summer pruning

Page 11: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

All pruning is dwarfing, but summer pruning reduces growth much more than equivalent pruning during the dormant

period

Types of Cuts

Heading Cut

Remove part of the branch

Stimulate bud break near cut

Stimulate localized branching

Page 14: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Inhibits lateral bud break

Inhibits lateral shoot growth

Affects branch angle

Page 15: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Types of Cuts

Remove branch at point of origin

Least invigorating cut

Promote light penetration into canopy

Page 16: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Avoid Leaving Branch Stubs

Pruning Neglected Trees

Page 20: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Pruning Neglected Trees

Remove dead wood

Reduce tree height

Cut out 3-4 large branches

Cut back to outward growing branches

Branch Spreading

Page 29: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Branch Spreading

Opens tree up for sunlight and spray penetration

Reduces shoot and limb vigor

Encourages floweringToo much

Too little

Page 30: Fruit Trees Pruning and Training - Professor · Summer pruning apples and pears allows sunlight to ripen the fruit and ensures good cropping the following year Pinching competitive

Bend Branch Towards Horizontal

Decreases amount of auxin moving from tip

Increase lateral branchingDecrease terminal growth

Bend to a 45 to

60 degree angle
