Orlando, United States - July 11, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Feeling guilty because you’re not “pinching” all those fresh shoots in the canopy of your apple tree? Hung up on what your elderly relative was teaching you about various arcane summer pruning practices such as the Louis Lorette system? If so, there is good news. You can safely ignore and avoid both!
Recent horticultural research debunks some myths about the benefits of spending hours and hours preening and micro-pruning your fruit trees this summer. The research by Pennsylvania State University cuts through many if not all of the Spanish customs in summer season tree trimming that have been promoted in the past by well-meaning but misinformed, amateur horticulturalists.
Jerome Hallberg of Tree Top Pros explains that: “We are thankful for all well-founded insights that help both our customers and ourselves use time spent caring for trees more effectively. Our article this month shares how we are all better off enjoying our yards in all their summer glory rather spending hours and hours thinning fruit tree canopies and “pinching” out new growth. Nevertheless, there remains a need to prune trees during the summer months in certain situations and we highlight these in the July Tree care Diary now available in the link below.”

Tree Top Pros’ July Tree Care Diary outlines that there are just 6 reasons to prune your trees this summer, two of which are entirely optional. The advice is split between whether or not you should prune your deciduous trees, your fruit trees and your palm trees.
The piece confirms that major structural pruning should be kept for the dormant, winter months. However, as damage to trees and pest infestation can emerge at any time of the year, the tree services company says that crossing branches, damaged or diseases branches and some low-hanging branches can be removed without harming the tree or the production of any fruit.
Their July advice ends with 3 summer pruning mistakes to avoid. For example, keeping any cuts to your tree tidy and clean is very important in the summer. Fungal spores are very active at this time of year especially after a spell of rain and are looking for easy entry points on a tree which jagged cuts can easily provide.
Tree Top Pros is committed to sharing their considerable tree care knowledge with private individuals and business property owners alike who are blessed with trees on their property. The FREE monthly Tree care Diary is a major conduit for this. Mature trees in good condition can add thousands of dollars to the appraised value of any home according to USDA Forest Service. But there is a flip side to this because Moneysense confirm that badly maintained trees can detract from a property’s value. The only sensible solution is a timely, preventative style of tree care heading off problems which may loom on the horizon. Much of the care can be carried out by the owners of the trees themselves.
