Lots of glorious fruits are ready for harvesting in August. Plums, cherries, apricots, peaches, and more are ripe for picking. It is also time to prune these fruit trees to keep them healthy and productive for next year.
Stone fruits are pruned in summer rather than winter to avoid fungal and bacterial diseases that can ravage them. August is a prime time to prune these fruit trees after harvesting the fruits. This month is also when you need to give any trained fruits in your garden their summer prune.
