If you have stone fruit trees like peaches, plums & apricots, pruning, fertilizing, and thinning are the keys to a successful harvest. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Doing these three things at the right time helps:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
• Produce the large, delicious fruit we like to eat. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
• Too much fruit uses up all the tree’s stored energy, which depletes the tree and makes it more susceptible to damage from disease, pests, and sunburn. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
• Prevent limb breakage to branches that cannot support the weight of the fruit.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
• Thinned fruit has better air circulation and prevents problems like rot from spreading. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Don't forget to prune, fertilize and thin your stone fruits. I can't wait for peach season to begin! ⁣⁣⁣
