Winter in the North West
Winter is a great time to care for your fruit trees. Pruning fruit trees will stimulate the health and the production of fruit in the coming seasons. This is done by cutting out the dead and diseased branches along with the branches that cross each other or make the tree grow unbalanced. Spraying of organic dormant spray and liquid fish fertilizer are a very important part of proper fruit tree care. If there hasn’t been any rain in a while it’s probably a good idea to give the trees a little water too, not too much water though, you don’t want the trees to mold or rot. The water doesn’t evaporate from the heat of the sun like it does in the summer months. If there is any sign of a bug infestation, rot or maybe some cracks in the branches or the trunk of the tree the best thing you can do is call a professional.

When you have finished cleaning up the beds you can cover the beds with wood chips, black plastic or some sort of canvas ground cover. This will keep the weeds from growing, and make the tilling process easier in the spring.

Make sure to clear the surrounding area of flammable materials before you start the fire. If the piles are too big or close to a building it might be necessary to burn piles.
