Apricot Tree Pruning Melbourne

Pruning apricot trees requires special attention to detail and knowledge of Melbourne’s climate. At The Yard, we follow a structured approach to ensure your apricot trees are thriving and productive.

Assessing the Tree’s Health

We begin by inspecting your apricot tree to identify any dead, damaged, or diseased branches. This ensures that the tree is free from pests and infections and ready for healthy growth.

Strategic Pruning for Growth and Fruit Production

Pruning your apricot tree is not only about removing excess branches. Our experts strategically prune to encourage the tree’s energy to go towards healthy growth and fruiting. Removing overcrowded branches allows more sunlight and airflow, ensuring better fruit production.

Shaping for Aesthetic Appeal

We also focus on the aesthetic appeal of your tree. Proper shaping ensures the tree has a balanced structure and enhances its visual appeal, blending perfectly into your garden.

Waste Removal

Once the pruning is done, we handle the cleanup, responsibly removing all pruned branches and debris to keep your garden clean and tidy.
