Specialized fruit tree pruning in McKinney. Optimize fruit production, improve branch strength, and prevent disease in Peach, Plum, Apple, Fig, and Pecan trees.

Answers to the questions McKinney homeowners ask us most about fruit tree pruning.
Late winter — specifically January and February — is ideal. The trees are dormant, and cuts heal rapidly when spring growth begins.
Unpruned fruit trees become dense, produce small inferior fruit, develop fungal diseases, and often suffer broken limbs under heavy fruit weight.
Peach trees are pruned into an "open center" or vase shape, removing the central trunk to allow maximum sunlight into the interior.
Bacterial diseases like Fire Blight and Canker spread easily on saw blades. Sanitizing tools between cuts prevents infecting healthy limbs.
