Now that it will soon be time
to set out those fruit trees we
ordered last month be sure to
remember that fruit trees need
full sunlight for best fruit
production. not place fruit
trees where they will be shaded
by other trees or buildings.
Prune trees lightly up to
bearing age. Heavy pruning
retards the beginning of fruit
bearing. Prune primarily by
thinning out branches instead of
heading back (reducing the
length of branches or the height
of the tree). When pruning it is
better to under prune rather
than too much pruning.
