In this video I demonstrate how to prune watermelon plants? There are some nice benefits to prune the watermelon plants. Pruning will increase the size of the melons and focus the energy of the plant to the melon. When there are some many melons on a vine the plant will not be able to provide enough energy for every watermelon. Another benefit of pruning is to keep the plant from running over other plants in the garden. The use of pruning can make the garden area neat. Some people are nervous about pruning watermelon plants because of disease issues. As gardeners we prune many plants and trees so I don’t worry about it. Pruning keeps the plants healthy and happy just look at the watermelons in the video.
