Promoting Health and Growth

Pruning helps remove dead or diseased branches, improving overall tree health. It also stimulates fresh growth by encouraging the tree to provide more resources to productive branches. We inspect your trees for signs of damaged, diseased, or overgrown limbs and use the right tools to remove them without compromising the tree’s health.

Enhancing Fruit Quality

You allow better air circulation and sunlight penetration into the canopy by thinning out branches. This results in larger, tastier fruit and reduces the risk of diseases. Even if your trees produce fruits without regular pruning, delaying maintenance can affect fruit quality and increase the risk of infections or premature tree removal services.

Shaping the Tree

Pruning allows you to control the shape and size of your fruit tree, making it more manageable, aesthetically pleasing, and accessible for harvesting. This is essential if you want to maintain a safe home or listing your property for sale. We recommend hiring a tree care company to inspect and prune your trees, eliminating the risks associated with DIY projects. Our arborists account for all the vital factors to ensure your trees have the best shape.

When to Prune Your Fruit Trees

The timing of pruning can significantly affect your tree’s health and productivity. Fruit trees have varying needs, and it is essential to work with certified tree service expert. If you are unsure when to prune your trees, here are timing tips to help.

Evita Fikes

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Dormant Season Pruning (Winter)

The ideal time for major pruning is during late winter, when trees are dormant. This minimizes stress by reducing the risk of disease transmission. Ensure you prune before new growth begins in early spring.

Summer Pruning

Light summer pruning can help manage tree size and shape. It’s best done after the spring growth spurt has slowed down, typically in late June or early July.

Pruning Young Trees

Newly planted fruit trees require formative pruning to establish a strong structure. This should be done during the first few years after planting. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, hire a tree care company to handle pruning and maintenance.

Pruning your fruit trees is an essential practice for maintaining tree health, enhancing fruit quality, and shaping the tree to your liking. You can ensure that your fruit trees remain healthy, productive, and a beautiful addition to your garden by understanding why, when, and how to prune. Contact us at the Sesmas Tree Service for quality tree care, ensuring you enjoy the sweet rewards of your labor for years to come.
