Stop Pruning Flowering and Deciduous Plants
There are a number of plants that shouldn’t be pruned anymore. If flowering plants are pruned now, you are taking off the new buds. This reduces the number of flowers in the coming spring. The other group that shouldn’t be pruned anymore is deciduous trees which are now producing sap.
Prune Fruit-bearing Trees
This pruning should be selective. This means that you should really only prune any branches that cross over one another or branches that grow right under another branch. The goal is to allow as much sunlight as possible to reach as many branches as possible. More fruit grow with this selective pruning.
