How to Dwarf a Fruit Tree
How to Dwarf a Fruit Tree..
Dwarfed fruit trees take up much less space than standard
trees in a dooryard orchard and are easier to care for and harvest. One of the
simplest techniques of dwarfing a fruit tree is to use the open center method.
In this method, judicious pruning practices limit the growth of the tree and
also balance vegetative vigor with fruit production. Many varieties of fruit
trees, including apples, pears, peaches, apricots, citrus and cherries, respond
well to this method.
