April 14, 2008 - Christmas Tree Pruning

Filed under: Crops - Trees, Farm - All — highhopesgardens @ 7:27 pm

A few Christmas trees are a new crop for us, so I am learning as we go. I had a vague notion that as the trees got bigger, they should be pruned in late summer. Well, it didn’t happen last summer and the trees shot up some leaders that were 22 inches tall. I called the nursery I bought them from asking if I could still prune and got the go ahead - so pruned the top leader and started shaping the trees.

Here’s a before pruning photo.

Here’s an after pruning photo.
