Can Fruit Trees be Pruned when they are Blooming?

In this video we will answer the question, "can you prune fruit trees when they are blooming?"
Yes, it is safe to prune fruit trees when they are in bloom. They are actively growing and have an entire growing season to repair from the damage caused by pruning. When a tree comes out of dormancy so do all the best and disease so there are some risks.
there are a few things to consider though. First it's important to make sure that there is good weather because many diseases are spread by rain. it's also important to be aware of what types of pests and diseases are present in your area and make sure that the pruning is not going to increase the pest and disease pressure on your tree.
It's all so important to understand that the growing cambium tissue between the bark and the wood is very fragile and climbing in a tree can cause the bark to slip which will open it up to possible infection or disease.

Yes, if your trees have fire blight it's best to prune them in the winter because the fire blight will freeze and die if it's exposed to the cold temperatures. It's also important to make sure that you spray your fire blight infested trees with copper during the dormant stage and again when the pedals drop. You may need to do additional pruning and spraying throughout the season in order to keep the fire blight under control.
