Rootstock, severity of dormant pruning, and summer pruning influences on peach tree size, yield, and fruit quality

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1995
Peach trees in British Columbia are pruned heavily during the dormant season with some potentially detrimental effects. Summer pruning has been used to control fruit tree vigor and improve fruit quality. The objective of this study was to reduce tree size, increase yield, and improve fruit color by using a less severe dormant pruning system and summer

Summer pruning effects in apple — a review

Scientia Horticulturae, 1987
Abstract Summer pruning effects in apple have generally been attributed to improved light penetration and to reduced carbohydrate supply. However, the common basis to most of these effects seems to be the retardation of senescence, a process under hormonal control.

A SIMPLE SUMMER PRUNING TRIAL ON HAZELNUT

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Even if the positive hazelnut pruning effects have been demonstrated by experimental trials, in one of the main Italian hazelnut production areas, pruning is not usually applied or it is limited to the removal of only some old branches every 3-5 years.

Responses of vegetative growth and fruit yield to winter and summer mechanical pruning in olive trees [PDF]

Scientia Horticulturae, 2017
Mechanical pruning has become increasingly common in olive orchards, particularly under high tree densities. Large cutting disks make heading cuts at a single canopy depth without discriminating between branch thickness, size, or type of branch.

Effects of summer pruning on the water status and physiology of olive trees and on fruit characteristics and oil quality

Scientia Horticulturae
An investigation was carried out in 2017 in central Italy, in an adult olive orchard with trees of the cultivar Leccino, spaced 5 x 5 m, trained to a vase and pruned biennially. The aim was to evaluate the effects of summer pruning (i.e.

Dormant and Summer Pruning Compared by Pruning Young Apple Trees Once on a Succession of Dates

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1965
Rooted cuttings of Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. M.VII were permitted to grow from a single shoot. This was cut back to 3 cm. and the utilization of the subsequent increment, as leaves, stem and root, was determined. Different batches were treated on 7 occasions–June, July, August and December of the 1st year of the bud’s growth and March, April and

The effect of summer pruning and shading on the yield and quality of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1995
SummaryKiwifruit vines grown under two shading conditions (unshaded control, 25 and 50% shading) for wind protection, received summer pruning treatments applied at full bloom and 2 and 9 d after petal drop with the aim of determining the best timing of pruning. Summer pruning of control and 25% shaded vines, applied 2 d after petal drop had the highest
