We’ve been out in the orchard pruning our apple trees — it’s one of the most important steps to get ready for a great season! Pruning helps the trees stay healthy by removing dead or damaged branches, and it encourages new growth where apples will form. It also lets more sunlight and air into the tree, which helps the fruit grow better and keeps disease away. Plus, keeping the trees a good size makes it easier to pick apples later! Spring is coming — and so are the blossoms! | Patterson Fruit Fa
