Pruning Trees
The pruning of fiuit trees and
bushes is very timely during late
Winter and early Spring. The
pruning of grape vines should
be done during the dormant sea
son Reducing the amount of
vine will help mature the fruit
that is produced on the remain
ing vines Our fiuit authorities
mf oi m us to leave 30 buds on the
vine for the fiist pound of one
year wood that is removed; then
leave 10 to 12 foi each additional
pound of wood that is removed.
Pruning in the next month will
result m less “bleeding” and in
juiy to the vines
