Fruit Tree Pruning in North Yorkshire
Specialist pruning of apple, pear and other fruit trees to keep them healthy and productive.
What it involves
Formative and renewal pruning of fruit trees - the cuts that keep a tree productive, open and disease-free, timed around the tree's growth cycle.
When you need it
Winter pruning for most apples and pears (while dormant); summer pruning to check vigour. Wrong timing is the most common way fruit trees are ruined.
Worth knowing before you book
Fruit trees are the most commonly butchered trees in Britain - hedge-trimmed "shape-ups" destroy cropping. Use someone who actually knows fruit trees.
What it typically costs
Typically from around £100–£300 per tree depending on size and condition.
Questions to ask any firm
- Do you prune fruit trees regularly, or is it a side skill?
- What is the right timing for this tree?
