There's no one month in which all fruit trees should be pruned since each variety has different needs, and there are different reasons for pruning, whether that's trimming off leafy growth to encourage fruiting for established trees or encouraging a young tree to bear fruit. Or perhaps, your fruit tree has damaged, weak or diseased branches that need pruning right now?
While most of us consider fruit tree pruning a winter gardening job, some will benefit from cutting back in summer.
