How To Prune Fruit Trees Step By Step

Pruning fruit trees is one of the most important aspects of fruit tree maintenance. It can increase fruit production, help mitigate disease of the tree, and help ensure the longevity of the tree. In this video we cover the tools needed and tips on how to properly prune a fruit tree. Winter pruning is the safest and most effective time to prune a tree, because the tree is dormant and not yet producing any buds.

Thank you, I'm a newbie to growing fruit trees and pruning terrifies me! 😄 But everything you said made sense and was incredibly helpful.

Are those cedars right beside your apple tree? Unless you're putting out specific cultivars, your client will likely be dealing with cedar rust on their apple trees.

I had some Asian pear. Before I prune them. I'd like to ask you which way is the best ?
1. Modified leader
2. Open center
3. Central leader.

I have a question. I just purchased trees and it is May and you mentioned not pruning the trees until February. the trees that I have planted are also in a Sandy area and I did put topsoil down and around them. so my question is do I wait until February to prune these or should I be pruning them sooner just because I planted them in May? and they are also like the trees that you purchased and planted they are or were in buckets and they're good at least four or five feet tall already

About to prune, not sure, I saw buds, said a prayer, and was led to this video. Thank you for this content.

Thanks for the advice. Just watched this, and went out and pruned. One additional thing I did, was to disinfect my shears and loppers between each tree.

So, I'm assuming I need to take off the top of each branch and then trim back? Not sure what to do with the tops of my branches...

This was so helpful & exacting! Truly appreciate the time & effort put into making this for those of us who need a little assistance! Thanks so much!

What should I do if it’s already spring and the trees are young and in need of pruning? I think there’s risk if I do prune now and risk if I don’t do it… I just can’t decide which would be worse lol. Any advice would be great!
