Is it okay to cut back gangly branches after harvest?

@Orchardpeople Месяц назад

It depends what tree. You can prune out dead/diseased branches whenever you want. In terms. of healthy branches, you can prune up to mid summer. So we prune our cherry trees after harvest. But if you harvest in October (apples for instance), it's too close to the winter. If there are frosts near you, the tree won't have time to heal the wound and cells can be damaged in the frost. It sounds like it's not a big deal, but we are trying to make our trees stronger and more resilient in the long term.
