Peach trees exhibit strong apical dominance and tend to produce new shoots on the ends of branches and in the tops of the trees. I will try to review some of this information to explain how summer pruning can be used to maintain fruiting wood in the lower canopy and to enhance peach fruit quality.
Simultaneously, others elucidated the importance of light and carbohydrate partitioning during fruit development that helps explain the tree’s response to summer pruning. During the 1980s and 90s, several researchers evaluated summer pruning in apple and peach.
When peach trees are summer pruned properly, one can expect economic benefits, but economic losses result from summer pruning incorrectly. Tree response can vary when these aspects of pruning are varied.
