Job Specifications Pruning Peach/Plum Trees: While pruning trees, workers will receive proper tools for the particular job, i.e., saw, prunes, and hand snips.

Workers must remove all resulting material from the fruit trees rendered from performing pruning tasks. When pruning is complete on each tree, each worker is required to rake and scatter the resulting brush in the center of the tractor/equipment middles. As each row is pruned, workers will receive credit for the number of trees pruned. This number is transferred manually or electronically for production records.
