Fruit Trees

From initial planting to annual pruning; ensuring fruitful trees year on year.

Fruit tree pruning

is a specialised service that involves selectively removing branches and limbs from fruit trees to promote healthy growth, improve fruit quality, and increase yield. Pruning fruit trees is a complex process that requires knowledge of tree biology, growth habits, and fruit production, making it essential to hire a professional arborist with experience in fruit tree care; and that’s where we come in. With specialist fruit tree training, we’re experts in this field.

The benefits

We assess your tree's structure, identify areas of concern, and make strategic cuts that promote healthy growth and fruit production; while still preserving the tree's natural form. We also remove any dead or diseased wood to reduce the risk of pest or disease infestation. Our arborists have the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to prune your fruit trees safely and effectively, ensuring that they produce an abundant crop year after year.

  • Pruning helps fruit trees produce larger, healthier, and more flavourful fruit by increasing air circulation, sunlight exposure, and nutrient flow.

  • Pruning removes diseased, dead, or damaged branches, reducing the risk of pests and diseases and promoting healthy growth.

  • Pruning can increase fruit production by removing branches that are not productive, encouraging the growth of new fruit-bearing branches, and maintaining the size and shape of the tree.

  • Pruning can shape the tree and enhance its natural form, making it a more beautiful and attractive feature in your landscape.

“We called C&D to deal with a branch of a plum tree that had split under the weight of fruit. They were very polite and helpful.. They listened to our requests and left the whole area immaculately clean. I have no hesitation in recommending them”
