Taken from Chapter 9: Caring for orchards Each spring, the fruit grower prunes the fruit trees, or cuts off many of their branches. In the past, trees were allowed to grow so big that people had to use tall ladders to reach all the fruit growing on them. Pruning keeps trees small. Smaller trees are easy to reach from the ground or a short ladder. Pruning also gets rid of dead and broken branches. After these branches are cut off, all of the trees energy goes to the healthy, fruit- producing branches. The energy is not wasted on branches that are no longer growing fruit.
