💥 Quick Answer
The best way to prune an orange tree is to remove the dead, diseased, and damaged branches to promote healthy growth.
Pruning an orange tree may seem like a tricky task, but it’s easier than you think.
By trimming away certain parts, you help the tree grow stronger and produce better fruit. Start by focusing on branches that are damaged or showing signs of disease. This keeps the tree healthy and stops any problems from spreading.
When my orange tree hit the 10-year mark, I noticed a huge difference in fruit quality after a careful prune.
It’s crucial to follow the rule of pruning no more than a third of the branches each year. Too much pruning can be harmful, so aim for around 20% branch removal during each session.
