Abstract
Pruning has long been recognized as a beneficial cultural practice in blueberry growing. Skillful pruning requires experience and growers generally develop their own style which may be slightly different from their neighbor's, but should accomplish the same objectives. This document discusses some basic principles of pruning and provides a few suggestions and observations which may be helpful in determining how and when to prune blueberries in Florida.
