Fruit Tree Pruning
Expert pruning for healthier growth, stronger structure, and better fruit production.
What Is Fruit Tree Pruning?
Fruit tree pruning is a specialized technique used to improve the health, productivity, and structure
of fruit-bearing trees. By removing dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches, we encourage better sunlight exposure,
air circulation, and fruit yield.
At Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service, our ISA-certified arborists apply industry-approved methods
that balance growth and fruiting—ensuring your trees remain productive and beautiful year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fruit Tree Pruning
When is the best time to prune fruit trees?
The best time depends on the species and your goals. Winter pruning encourages strong spring
growth, while summer pruning helps manage size and shape. Our arborists can recommend the
ideal timing for your trees and climate.
Does pruning help my tree produce more fruit?
Yes. Proper pruning improves sunlight penetration and air circulation, which stimulates the growth of
new fruiting wood. This leads to healthier trees and better-quality fruit each season.
How often should I prune my fruit trees?
Most fruit trees benefit from pruning once per year, although fast-growing varieties may require light
touch-ups during the growing season. Regular maintenance keeps the canopy balanced and prevents disease.
Can pruning damage my fruit trees?
When performed incorrectly, pruning can stress or weaken a tree. That’s why our ISA-certified arborists
use precise, clean cuts and proper pruning angles to protect tree health and ensure long-term vitality.
Do you offer pruning for backyard fruit trees and orchards?
Absolutely. We work with both residential homeowners and small orchard owners across Snohomish and King
counties. Whether you have one apple tree or an entire orchard, we can help your trees thrive.
