DON'T
LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!
This is
an example of a VERY bad tree pruning. This is unfortunately
a common occurrence when hiring a non-professional. Always
make sure you are dealing with a tree service expert.
Without
training and pruning, fruit trees will not develop proper shape
and form. Properly trained and
pruned trees will yield high quality fruit much earlier in their
lives and live significantly longer.
A primary objective
of training and pruning is to develop a strong tree framework that
will support fruit production. Improperly trained fruit trees generally
have very upright branch angles, which result in serious limb breakage
under a heavy fruit load. This significantly reduces the productivity
of the tree and may greatly reduce tree life. Another goal of annual
training and pruning is to remove dead, diseased, or broken limbs.
Proper
tree training also opens up the tree canopy to maximize light penetration.
