Heavy pruning and removing ties
« on: July 01, 2012, 08:07:50 PM »

Thanks you guys with all these wonder advice. Today I picked up my pruner and give everybody a hair cut. Now surely they don't need any support or ties. So no sticks.





The overly bushy water apple, not any more.

It probably doesn't apply to where you live but in SoCal we have to keep in mind how sun sensitive the plants are and be careful to not expose bare bark for things like cherry and citrus. Also some things should be pruned in summer and some in winter.

It's always interesting to see updates from people up north :)
