Is March a good time to prune fruit trees and bushes?
You can prune fruit trees and bushes this month. Prune so a strong central leader develops on fruit trees and strong lateral branches grow at a wide angle from the trunk. Prune out dead canes of June-bearing raspberries and cut ever-bearing raspberries to the ground. Thin out 1/3 of the oldest growth on blueberry bushes. On all fruit, prune out broken or diseased tissue, crossing or rubbing branches and inward growing stems.
