Fruit Tree Services
Expert fruit tree care requires a balance of horticultural science and precision pruning. Since 1968, Bud’s Tri-County Tree Services Inc. has helped Sacramento homeowners cultivate productive, healthy, and beautiful backyard orchards. Unlike standard shade trees, fruit-bearing species have unique biological requirements that change with the seasons.
With over five decades of local experience, our team understands the specific needs of the citrus, stone fruit, and nut trees that thrive in Northern California. We provide the specialized attention necessary to boost fruit quality, manage tree size, and extend the lifespan of your private orchard.

Professional Orchard Management and Care
Our approach to fruit tree maintenance is designed to maximize both aesthetic beauty and harvest yields. We utilize proven techniques to ensure your trees remain an asset to your property.
Strategic Dormant Pruning: We perform precise winter pruning to establish a strong structural framework and stimulate vigorous growth for the coming spring.
Canopy Thinning and Light Penetration: By opening the canopy, we ensure sunlight and airflow reach the interior branches, which is vital for ripening fruit and preventing fungal diseases.
Size Control and Maintenance: We specialize in "pedestrian-height" pruning, keeping your trees at a manageable size so harvesting is safer and more accessible.
Health and Disease Diagnostics: Our arborists identify and treat common local threats such as fire blight, citrus leafminer, and peach leaf curl before they spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal season for fruit tree pruning? For deciduous trees like apricots, peaches, and apples, winter is the best time for structural pruning. Citrus trees are unique and are typically pruned in the late spring or summer once the threat of frost has completely passed.
How do I prevent heavy fruit from breaking my tree limbs? We implement structural thinning and weight reduction. By removing excess fruit and thinning crowded branches, we prevent the "V-shaped" weak points from splitting under the weight of a heavy crop.
Why is my tree flowering but not producing fruit? This can be caused by several factors, including improper pruning timing, lack of pollinators, or nutritional deficiencies. We can assess your tree's health and soil conditions to help get your orchard back on track.
Are your arborists familiar with local Sacramento pests? Yes. Having served this region since 1968, we are experts in identifying local pests and diseases that specifically target Northern California fruit varieties.
