Hello all of my readers. I have recently renovated my website and would like you all to stop by and go for a tour. I have been updating the blog rather consistently on the web site.
Thank you for your interest and I hope you are happy with the new setting for my blog!

Pruning tips
A great article from the Flower World website makes some interesting points:
1. Pruning in the winter stimulates the most growth—good for fruit trees, not so great for ornamental trees/shrubs! With fruit trees it works because you can then thin to desired new growth and keep new fruiting spurs developing while cycling out the older ones.
2. Pruning in midsummer is the time that pruning stimulates the least amount of growth.
3. Prune the areas of the tree where new growth is desired.
4. Keep trees thinned to let light and air into the entire canopy.
A nicely written article that includes the basics of clean cuts to laterals and general caution prior to removing branches.
