Still snow on the ground, really late this year. March is 8 degrees below normal this year in WI. It finally was warm and calm today, a good time to prune the fruit trees. Cut out the inter growing branches to open up the center of the tree to light. Then removed the vertical growing branches or suckers. Finally removed under growing branches and crossing branches on the remaining branches to allow the fruit to be in direct light and have less competition. Look forward to grinding, juicing and pressing some fresh fruit this season.
