Pruning helps improve airflow, sunlight penetration, and fruit production!
Late winter to early spring is ideal for pruning—before new growth starts!
Use sharp, clean tools: Hand pruners, loppers, and a pruning saw.
First, remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches.
Trim inward-growing branches to improve light and air circulation.
Aim for an open center with evenly spaced main branches.
Trim taller branches to keep fruit within reach!
Remove weak shoots so energy goes to fewer, bigger peaches!
Water, fertilize, and mulch to support new growth!
Healthy pruning = Bigger, juicier peaches! 🍑
