MONTH
About 5000 people in Greene County have diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity and physical inactivity, accounts for 90%-95% of diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with medications and lifestyle changes, including losing 5%-7% of a person’s weight, eating healthy foods, and being physically active.
Nearly 20% of Greene County residents with diabetes have not been diagnosed – as many as 1,000 people – because their symptoms may be overlooked or misunderstood, and are not receiving the recommended medical care that has been proven to prevent diabetes complications.

If you have risk factors and symptoms, talk to your Greene County Doctor about getting tested today.

PRUNE YOUR FRUIT TREES!
1. PRUNE IN LATE WINTER - The best time to prune is late winter or early spring , before the tree begins to produce new leaves and after the coldest winter weather passes.
2. LET LIGHT IN - Pruning fruit trees is primarily focused on making pathways for sunlight to reach into all parts of the tree. Have you noticed that the best fruit on apple, cherry, and peach trees for example is usually found at the top of the tree? That’s because the top of the tree receives the most light. Selectively pruning out closely spaced interior branches will make way for light to reach more branches, encouraging fruit development throughout the canopy not just at the hard-to -harvest tip top.
3. TAME GROWTH IN YOUNG TREES - Fruit trees less than 10 years old tend to produce many vigorous upright shoots called water sprouts. These non-fruiting sprouts don’t contribute to the overall structure or health of the tree and are best removed before they gain size.
4. ENCOURAGE NEW GROWTH IN OLD TREES - Pruning old fruit trees often brings many back into fruit production. The goal is to jolt the tree back into fruiting by removing years of old growth. Old, overgrown apple and pear trees take to rejuvenation pruning well.
5. GET RID OF PROBLEM AREAS
6. THIN THINGS OUT
Pruning is not a one-time event. When pruning is an annual late winter activity, the tree will respond with healthy growth and more fruit than an unpruned tree. Call or email us for an estimate!
