Apple trees require pruning twice a year. In summer shorten all the new shoots by two thirds, in winter prune back to one bud from fruiting spurs.

when can you prune fig tree in southwest louiaians?

The best time to prune not only fig trees but all fruit trees in the south (including Louisiana) is in February. Luckily fig trees are very productive even without a lot of pruning so you can prune just a bit or a lot depending on what you like. The recommendation for pruning however is to prune dead, damaged and diseased limbs as well as tree limbs that are rubbing together. If you stick to that recommendation you will have a high yield of fruit and a healthy tree.

When should you prune a lemon tree?

During the winter, while the tree is dormant.Answeractually that's a common misconseption born from the fact that most farmers prune trees in winter but that's mostly 'cos its the only time they can. in most cases the best time to prune trees is mid spring and late summer. prunning in winter increases the chances of tree mortallity and slows down healing rates. of course there are exections like pear trees in areas which are affected by fire blight which should be pruned in winter.
