This was great, thank you. I live in Wisconsin and we prune in March.

[@scottlarkin4748]

I love it. I have 3 Apple trees and a peach tree

[@loulauer5853]

Great info! Thanks for the video. I'm going to put this to use on my trees today!

Really great information. Wish I had the property to go fruit trees. Tammy has the wicking garden beds too. ❤️🌺

You don't need much, dwarf fruit trees stay very small. I've got less than half an acre, but I've got 3 apple trees and loads of fruiting shrubs. Could fit more fruit trees if I wanted to

The Millennial Gardner has 60+ fruit trees in his standard housing development style house in his backyard. It can definitely be done in small space. I encourage everybody to grow fruit trees. Even if it's just a few.

What year should you start pruning? Mine are 1 year old.

[@thebeginnersgarden]

I started pruning when mine were a year old.

[@GreenThumbNursery-xv4nk]

Some each year, of course more as it gets bigger. General 1/3.

[@debra9853]

What is Tammy's site called please

Green Thumb Nursery

If my Meyer lemon is blooming, is it the wrong time to prune? The tree is a tangled mess!

[@thebeginnersgarden]

I'm sorry; I don't grow that (would love to). Maybe someone else can chime in!

[@sharoncarrigan9539]

Is it the same pruning method for all trees?

[@thebeginnersgarden]

From what I've read, there are some nuances with different trees; you'd have to look up the specific tree.

[@GreenThumbNursery-xv4nk]

Basically all fruiting trees is same general rules.

[@lynnlovessoil]

Is it ok to prune while in bloom?

[@thebeginnersgarden]

I don't see why not, but as you can tell in the video, I'm an amateur fruit tree grower so definitely check me on that.

[@GreenThumbNursery-xv4nk]

It’s better when dormant but it’s ok when it’s bloom but maybe prune less since it’s out of dormancy.
