Time to Prune!
During the months of July and August, pruning deciduous shrubs and trees while they are dormant is essential for strong, healthy growth and abundant blooms in the upcoming season. Evergreen shrubs can be pruned after flowering, and careful consideration should be given to ensure sharp and well-oiled tools are used to avoid damaging branches. Roses benefit from pruning to maintain their shape, while fruit trees like Peach, Plum, Apple, Pear, and Apricot should be pruned now for a bountiful harvest. Citrus trees require minimal radical pruning to remove diseased branches and improve light penetration.
