Summer pruning in fruit trees

Green or summer pruning of fruit trees is a complementary technique to winter pruning. This term encompasses the set of tasks necessary to carry out in the vegetative period to maintain the balance between vegetation and fruit production. Starting from a theoretical base where we will learn the basic concepts of plant physiology of the fruit tree, different techniques will be explained with real practical cases in situ, both for stone and seed fruit trees.
