Summer and root pruning increase peach yield without harming fruit quality.
The researchers studied how different ways of pruning peach trees affect their yield and canopy density. They looked at root pruning and summer pruning in different training systems for peach orchards. They found that summer pruning and root pruning can reduce the density of the tree canopy without harming the fruit. Root pruning can even make the fruit ripen earlier. Overall, pruning the roots and branches of peach trees can help manage their growth and improve the quality of the fruit.
