Should you prune your fruit trees in the fall?

Fall is the perfect season for s’mores, campfire ghost stories, and a steaming cup of apple cider. It’s also when many homeowners think of trimming their fruit trees.

This creates extra openings in the tree’s vascular system that allows deadly diseases to enter. Too many beautiful fruit trees become the victims of blight and other diseases from poorly timed trimmings.

Fall across the Mile High city can mean 70 degrees and sunshine in the morning and twelve inches of snow by dinner. It also means thousands of trees may not survive the next big snowstorm.
