Pruning for Young and Mature Fruit Trees
Different life stages require different pruning methods.
Formative pruning (Young Trees):
Young fruit trees benefit from careful shaping to establish a strong branch framework that supports future fruit production. Proper formative pruning sets the foundation for long – term tree health and stability.
Maintenance pruning (Mature Trees):
Older trees require selective pruning to remove ageing or non–productive wood while encouraging fresh fruiting growth. This helps maintain consistent yields and reduces the risk of structural weakness.
