Citrus Trees Services
Orange County’s citrus trees often suffer in silence. Citrus leaf miner, scale insects, and fungal spots are common during warmer months and often go unnoticed until fruit production drops. Our professional arborists identify these signs early and apply proven treatments to stop the damage before it spreads.
We also provide expert fruit tree trimming and other essential services, including seasonal pruning to improve light penetration and air circulation. This supports healthier lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit by balancing fruit load and reducing stress on the limbs.
Avocado Tree Care
Avocados need deep, consistent care, especially in Orange County’s clay soils. We manage drainage, monitor root health, and prune to reduce limb breakage.
Since they are sensitive to overwatering and poor nutrients, we check soil and moisture levels before adjusting care to prevent root rot and support healthy growth.
Fig Trees
Fig trees are hardy, but the intense Southern California sun can lead to sunburned limbs, while dense canopies invite pests and disease. In many Orange County yards, poor airflow and overgrowth limit fruit production and overall tree health.
Tom’s certified arborists handle canopy thinning, deadwood removal, and structural pruning to keep your fig trees productive and balanced. Pruning figs during the late dormant season improves airflow and encourages a stronger fruit set.
Date Palm Care
Orange County landscapes often feature fruit-bearing date palms like Medjool, Deglet Noor, and ornamental types like Canary Island.
Tom’s tree care crew has helped these and other palm varieties in Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, and beyond stay healthy with crown cleaning, fruit drop management, and targeted soil care.
We protect your date palms from pests and nutrient stress while preserving their iconic shape and enhancing fruit production.
Fruit Tree Trimming & Pruning
Pruning at the right time ensures your tree stays productive without disrupting its fruit cycle. Our trimming services focus on structural integrity, fruit spacing, and disease prevention.
Tom’s tree crew handles everything from corrective pruning to deadwood removal and canopy balancing. We follow seasonal pruning schedules based on each tree’s species and growth patterns to support healthier development and higher fruit yield.
Fertilizer
Fertility plays a central role in fruit yield and resistance to stress. Tom’s master arborists test your soil and provide custom nutrition plans based on each tree’s variety and age.
If your citrus needs a nitrogen boost or your avocado tree struggles with calcium uptake, our fertilization programs ensure your trees get what they need without overfeeding or runoff risk. We also apply mulching to support soil health and retain moisture naturally.
Pest Control & Spraying
Tom’s Tree Service has been helping protect fruit trees from pests like aphids, scale, and citrus leaf miners using eco-friendly treatments.
Our certified fruit tree arborists time applications around your tree’s growth and pest life cycles.
Spraying is done at critical stages to preserve fruit quality and protect pollinators. Integrated care helps prevent future infestations and keeps your trees productive.

Q: Why is tree pruning good for fruit production?
Pruning helps fruit trees focus their energy on growing stronger, healthier fruit instead of supporting excess or unproductive branches. It improves sunlight exposure and air circulation, which reduces disease risk and encourages better flowering and fruit set. Proper seasonal pruning can also prevent overbearing, which protects limbs from breaking.
When to fertilize orange trees in California?
Our master arborists advise to fertilize orange trees 2–3 times a year: late winter, late spring, and late summer.
When to prune avocado trees in Orange County?
Prune avocado trees lightly in late winter or early spring, just before new growth starts. Focus on removing dead branches and improving airflow. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce fruit production. Book our fruit tree service and let ISA-Certified arborists handle it with care.
What is the best time to trim fruit trees?
In Southern California, late winter or early spring is best for most fruit trees. Subtropical trees like citrus or avocado are pruned after harvest or in early spring. Tom’s Tree Service adjusts timing based on your tree type and local climate for the best results.
When to prune orange trees in California?
In California, orange trees are best pruned in early spring, just after the last frost and before new growth starts.
When to spray fruit trees in Southern California?
Spray fruit trees during the dormant season, typically late winter, to target pests like scale and mites. Follow up in early spring as buds swell. Timing depends on tree type and local pest pressures, so it’s best to consult a pro like Tom’s Tree Service.
