Winter Apple Tree Pruning

1/17/2019

110 Comments

​Pruning has never been one of my favorite things. I am always afraid of doing permanent damage. In reality, apple trees are tough and very forgiving. The best start to pruning is good-quality sharp and sterile pruning tools. Hand held bypass pruners, long handle lopping shears, and a pruning saw are some great ones. A good tip: if you have a battery powered reciprocating saw, it will do the job on branches that are too big for the loppers. When cutting, you want a clean cut without smashing the wood.

When to Prune Apple Trees
Summer pruning of apples helps encourage fruiting and flowering, but winter pruning is essential for controlling shape and vigor. Winter pruning starts when the trees go dormant and lasts until early spring before they start to bud.
1. Remove the 3 "D's".
That’s diseased, dying and dead wood. If the wood shows obvious signs of any malady, amputate it. Make the cut into healthy wood to ensure the problem doesn’t spread.
2. Remove crossing branches.
If two branches cross, they will rub away the bark and potentially provide an entry point for disease. They will also make it harder for air to circulate, and make harvesting more awkward. Try to imagine how the branches will look when weighed down with leaves and fruits; will they rub against a branch below? If you spot two branches that are likely to cross in the future, prune one of them out now. It’s an easier job to make these cuts while they’re still small. Think of any inward-pointing branches as crossing ones, and remove.
3. Make the biggest cuts first.
You can spend an awful lot of time removing a small dead twig here and a spindly inward-turning shoot there, but when thinking about removing a small branch it’s a good idea to trace it back to the trunk to see if there are other problems. You might find that it crosses with another further back and that it, therefore, should be cut out closer to the trunk.
4. Make clean cuts.
Use clean, sharp pruning tools. If you’re doing a lot of pruning you may need to stop occasionally and re-sharpen the blade. High-quality tools will retain an edge for much longer. Always cut just-above a healthy outward-facing bud. This is where next year’s growth will spring from. If you need to remove a whole branch, make your cut close to – but not into – the main branch or trunk. Look for the raised ‘collar’ where the branch joins and cut flush with that.
When using a saw to prune larger branches, first make a shallow undercut before sawing through from above. That way if the branch breaks off as you’re cutting it, it won’t rip off a long section of the tree’s protective bark.
Prune very thick or long limbs in sections. It may seem like more work but it’s much safer, and it’s less likely to cause damage if the branch breaks under its own weight as you’re cutting.
5. Take your time.
Keep stepping back and checking the overall shape of the canopy to make sure it looks balanced before making your next cut. A little change in perspective can make a big difference!

I'll also keep in mind to remove crossing branches because I agree with you that two branches cross will just provide an entry point for disease.

This is typically the greatest time to prune, especially if you have a tree with a lot of extra growth, such as fruit trees. With the snowpack being slightly lower, there are also possibilities to reach more delicate sections of a tree that would be nearly difficult to reach with equipment during the peak growing season. So, if you're searching for treetop work that necessitates the use of an aerial lift, now is the time to plan it.

Winter apple tree pruning has many benefits. Winter apple tree pruning helps to control the size and shape of the tree. It helps to promote fruit production by encouraging new growth. It can help to keep the tree healthy by removing diseased or damaged branches. Finally, it helps to improve the quality of the fruit by allowing more sunlight and air circulation to reach the apples. You can hire a professional Arborist for the pruning job done correctly.

I never took into account the fact that the growth of fruits and flowers will be encouraged when the pruning is done during summer for apple trees. In that case, a tree service professional should probably be a good idea for the other species we have in our backyard. Their expertise will ensure that they will be handling them at the right time or season to get the best results when we want fruits growing from them.

Cut out crossing branches to prevent them from rubbing, which can provide access points for disease.

Winter apple tree pruning is the process of removing excess growth from apple trees during the winter months. This technique typically involves the removal of dead or diseased branches and stems to promote optimal health and vigor for the apple tree. Additionally, it helps to encourage vigorous fruit production by allowing more light penetration into the tree's canopy and adhering to certain shape guidelines.

Pruning can be easy when you use good pruning tools. Pruning can make the trees grow more.

I loved the helpful tips on adequately pruning apple trees; good-quality sharp, and sterile pruning tools are essential. It's great to know that winter pruning is vital for controlling the shape and vigor of apple trees, and I appreciate the advice on removing the 3 "D's" (diseased, dying, and dead wood) first.

Winter pruning is the careful removal of up to 90% of the vine growth from the previous season. To prepare the vines for the forthcoming growing season is the overarching purpose of winter trimming.

It struck me as a knowledgeable and helpful manual for anyone looking to maintain fruitful apple plants. In addition to stressing the significance of eliminating dead and diseased branches, the text gave precise advice on when and how to prune. I like how the author made clear how important it is to use the right pruning methods to increase fruit yield and foster overall tree vigor.

I can relate to the author's fear of pruning and the anxiety about causing permanent damage. As a gardener myself, I've experienced those mixed emotions. However, I've learned that apple trees are surprisingly resilient and forgiving. I've discovered that taking my time and stepping back to assess the overall shape before each cut ensures a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing canopy. Pruning may be daunting, but with practice, it becomes an artful and rewarding experience.
