Fruit trees are a wonderfully rewarding asset to any property. Not only do they add aesthetic value, but a healthy fruit tree can also provide you with quantities of delicious, fresh fruit. In order to keep your fruit trees healthy this season, you shouldn't ignore them over the winter. In fact, winter is the best time to prune your fruit trees to prepare for warmer weather while the trees are in a dormant state.

Pruning is a major part of preparing your fruit trees to survive the best that they can until the weather finally warms up. In addition to equipment like a good pair of pruning gloves, pruning requires a good amount of know-how and finesse, as well as an overall plan to “shape” you trees a certain way so they will withstand bad weather and thrive during the warmer part of the year.

You can prune your own trees, or you can leave it to professional tree care experts. The tree care specialists at Cartwright Tree Care will expertly prepare your trees for surviving the rest of the Kansas City winter.
