McNeilan also reminds home orchardists that sum mer pruning in most cases should be restricted to h e a lth y , vigorous f r u it trees Pruning a slow grow ing fru it tree during the s u m m e r m o n th s m a y severely stunt the tree » One of the p rim ary goals of sum m er pruning is to e lim in a te w a te r sprout growth on the fruit tree W ater sprouts are small branches growing upward from the tree's main limbs Cutting this excess tree growth out enables the tree to channel its vigor into fruit-bearing tree limbs "H o m e o r c h a r d is ts should re m e m b e r th at pruning a tree later in the growing season lessens the likelihood that regrowth w ill o c c u r,” M c N e ila n says “ This means that water sprout growth prun ed in August will have little ch an ce to g ro w b ack because the tree w ill soon be dormant ” Another important goal of summer pruning is the training of the fruit tree "Training is forcing the tree to grow the way the home orchardist wants it to," he says. “ In pruning to train the tree, weak limbs and those limbs growing in undesired directions should be removed " The gardening specialist adds that this w ill cause the o ther branches to e x perience more growth than usual, and as a result, it may be necessary to head them back once or twice during the summer The goals of sum m er pruning are the same as those of spring pruning to help the tree develop as desired and to control its s ize But th e hom e gardener should keep in mind that any pruning done now should be light and selective, M cNeilan notes M a jo r pruning a c tiv ity should be reserved for the early spring when fruit trees are still dormant CROWN CARPETS SAVE 26% to 60% Every roll and remnant in stock on sale!
