Late summer and early fall are the time to harvest and prepare your garden and other perennials for winter.
One of the mandatory procedures that must be performed at this time is pruning of fruit trees and shrubs.
Experienced gardeners have told us which of them need to be cut now.
Without this pruning, the harvest next season will not be as good.
How to trim
It is recommended to focus on sanitary pruning and remove all shoots damaged by pests and diseases, as well as dried and broken ones.
At the same time, you can thin out the tree crown slightly and collect all the rotten and dried fruits on the trees and bushes.
What to cut
Sanitary pruning should be planned for apple and pear trees whose harvest has been or will be harvested in September.
Pruning of apricots, peaches, cherry plums, plums and grapes is also carried out.
After harvesting, it is necessary to pay attention to raspberries, and to prune currants and gooseberries.
