Pruning not only enhances the appearance of your trees but also promotes better fruit production and reduces the risk of disease. A well-pruned citrus tree is safer, eco-friendly, and requires less maintenance over time. This guide will walk you through the pruning process, its benefits, and why you should consider professional services for the job.
