Rejuvinating neglected Fruit Trees October 2, 2006
Q. We just moved into a new house. There are several existing fruit trees, most of them are damaged looking. I don’t think they had much water or care prior to us. Will simply watering and fertilizing bring them back or? Mick Davis (Member)- Tacoma Washington (Spanway area)
A. Regular watering and fertilization will definately help but I would also recommend some judicious pruning. You can download a free Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file from the Extension website called Training and Pruning Your Home Orchard. This would be a great resource to get you started.
