Ornamental/Fruit Tree Pruning

Ornamental Tree Pruning

Ornamental tree pruning, encompassing trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses, is a delicate task that Pacific Land Preservation handles with expertise, available in both winter and summer. Winter months are generally suitable for most plants, though we offer guidance on those few that should not be pruned during the colder season. Pruning in extreme weather conditions is discouraged due to the stress it can cause on your plants and trees. 

Timing is crucial: pruning before the primary growth season (April to June in the Fall City, Redmond, Duvall, and Woodinville areas) can encourage growth, while pruning outside this window can decelerate growth. For those looking to manage the growth pace of rapidly expanding trees or shrubs, a light winter pruning followed by a more thorough session in July or August is advisable. Winter also presents an opportune time for significant pruning tasks, including the removal of dead, diseased, or damaged branches, ensuring your garden's health and aesthetics. Trust in Pacific Land Preservation for professional ornamental pruning services to maintain the beauty and vitality of your garden.

Fruit Tree Pruning

Fruit tree pruning is more than just maintenance; it's a crucial practice for the health and productivity of your fruit-bearing trees. Pacific Land Preservation understands the nuanced needs of fruit trees, which can be pruned during their dormant winter phase or in the summer to achieve various benefits. Pruning not only helps in thinning the canopy to reduce disease risks but also boosts fruit production and ensures fruits grow within easy reach. Strategic pruning times are vital: winter for overall health and summer for thinning, preventing branch overburden, and enhancing fruit size and quality. 

Unpruned fruit trees risk producing an unsustainable amount of fruit, leading to potential branch damage and a lower quality harvest. By carefully managing the fruit load through pruning, we ensure your trees bear fewer, but larger and more delicious fruits, with increased access to sunlight and nutrients. Let Pacific Land Preservation take the lead in pruning your fruit trees for health, accessibility, and abundant, quality fruit production.
