Fruit tree pruning

Fruit trees should be pruned every year to maintain the health of the tree and to keep it producing quality fruit. It’s important that fruit trees are pruned by a specialist rather than a general garden maintenance professional because fruit trees can be susceptible to fungal and bacterial diseases and require specific knowledge and expertise.

I specialise in fruit tree care and each year prune over 500trees for clients varying from people with a single tree in a courtyard garden through to orchard owners with 60 or more trees.

If you’d like me to prune a fruit tree for you, the cost will vary depending on it’s size and condition but free, no obligation quotes are available on request.I am also able to provide the specialist care needed to keep ‘restricted’ form fruit trees in good condition such as espalier, fan, cordon and stepover trees.

Some of my clients want to learn how to prune themselves and I offer one to one pruning tutorials in your own garden or orchard. You’ll get confident pruning your own fruit tree. Sessions vary from 90 minutes until as long as you need. All tools and equipment provided.
