OT Dear JDN: Another period of freezing temperatures and the likelihood of more snow will not make a difference in my pruning or dormant oil spraying. Winter and early spring are actually the traditional times for pruning fruit trees up here although studies now show that trees can be pruned any time of the year.

The main thing with dormant oil is that it should not be sprayed when the temperature outside is freezing or freezing temperatures are expected before the spray dries. I like to do it as soon after pruning as possible with the hope that any insect eggs that have fallen on the ground (during pruning) will get smothered by the spray.

Two of my apple trees are semi-dwarf and were planted by the people who owned the property before the people I bought it from. The trees themselves look nice but I do not like the unknown variety of apples on them. As the fruits begin to develop, I remove them but still spray the trees so as to keep down disease that might be carried to the apple trees I do like.

Now I know why people up here spend their winters in FL instead of NM (my choice, should I some day become a snow bird): when the apples are off the trees, they can dash down to FL and pick oranges and grapefruit.

Regards,

Lynn
