How to Prune an Apple Tree
£5.00
An excellent little book that starts with understanding your tree and the effect of pruning. The rest of the 30 page book takes the reader through three stages
– formative pruning early in a trees life to get them into fruiting. This can be applied to the trees we supply.
– maintenance pruning to get a balance of growth & fruit production once the trees have developed their shape and are into fruiting.
– restorative pruning to improve older trees vigour, shape & fruiting. Older trees can become out of shape or unproductive. Neglected trees may have become oversized or congested. All will benefit from restorative pruning.
A very understandable book that will give confidence to any reader. Though aimed particularly at apple trees the principles apply to pear trees aswell.
