noticed your apple tree suddenly dropping small fruit in early summer, don’t panic. It’s not a sign something’s gone wrong. In fact, it’s perfectly normal, and it’s a good thing. This natural process is known as June drop, and it’s the tree’s way of managing its resources.
Summer pruning focuses on enhancing fruit production by encouraging your tree to concentrate its energy on developing fruit buds close to the stem. This method contrasts with winter pruning, which is more about shaping and structuring the tree.
