Haircut time?
(1/1)
spaugh:
Should I give my stonefruit trees a haircut now? All of the fruits are harvested. Or is it better to wait till fall? If I trim now maybe they will do a second flush?
Samu:
Here's one expert's opinion about pruning stone fruits; from Dave Wilson's website:

Good luck, Brad!
spaugh:
Thanks Samu, I did a pretty heavy pruning on my younger trees today. I have a box of scions with your name on them going in the mail today.
Samu:
A Box? Just a few scions in a padded envelope will do, I think...
PM-me, if there's any scions you want from me; thanks Brad!
spaugh:
Dont worry its just a few pieces in a small box. Most of it ended up on the feet of the trees as mulch. I really trimmed the new bare root trees planted this winter back to 5 main branches the make a V shape out. Hopefully they shape up nicely. Time will tell.
