When is the best time to prune a peach tree?

Answer 1

That is a double edged sword. If you want to keep your peach tree dwarfed or stunt its growth then you would summer prune just after harvest. If you want a normal size tree then you would wait until the tree is dormant in winter. I prune mine around valentines day.

Answer 2

Pears should be proned at the coldest possible time. your biggest fear is fire-blight which is a disease cause by bacteria which enters the tree via wounds. as for how- thin out the branches, preserve the ones growing horizontaly and cut off (right at the base) the ones growing verticly. good luck

Answer 3

Pear trees should be pruned either before they start to bud in the Spring or after they have blossomed. Shaping and removing dead wood works best when the tree is dormant. That means anytime in the fall after the leaves have dropped off.

Answer 4

Pruning on apple trees should be done before the plant really starts to bud out in the Spring. To encourage new growth, this is the best time. For shaping, anytime the plant is dormant will work.

Answer 5

Prune an Asian pear at the same time you would a European pear in your area ( typically this will be late winter/early spring).

This question is impossible to answer as each type of tree requires different pruning. Tell me the tree and I'll tell you how to prune it.

Answer 7

Typically in the spring before blossoms appear and after leaves to appear.

Answer 8

Pruning should be done before the plant really starts to bud out in the Spring. To encourage new growth, this is the best time. For shaping, anytime the plant is dormant will work.
