Fruit Tips

Pruning

If you haven’t completed your pruning yet, now is the time to get busy Tree Pruning and get it done!

If you missed our pruning clinic, give me a call or stop by.  We have a fact sheet on pruning mature trees, and have printed an old publication which provides good information for getting started.  

With trees behind in development, you still have an opportunity to get the job done. 

If your trees haven’t been pruned for several years, at least get some pruning done this year.


Insect & Disease Management

Srpaying If you need spray charts and product information, stop by the Extension Office and pick up a copy of the Backyard Fruit Spray Guide (Cost $5). This is an excellent publication which will provide you with spray application information,  spray charts for each of the tree fruits, and product information, as well as application safety.  We also have several fact sheets which would be helpful. If you wish to try to grow fruit organically, give me a call.  We have several helpful tip sheets, as well as an Ohio State University website on organic disease management.
