Let me start by saying that you did a great job on these videos. my question is I live in Chelsea ,Maine U.S.A. and I have a few yearling apple trees and I need to prune them. They are dwarf macIntosh trees and are about 3inches in diameter and about 6feet tall all have 4or5 branches. I was wondering if you had anything close to show what they should look like when pruned correct.Or could you make a video to show how to prune a tree for the first time. And how old should it be before you start to prune. Thanks for any information you can share Shane Aubuchon,Maine

Hi there. I watched several of your videos this morning on how to prune apple trees. They gave me the confidence and know-how I needed to prune my apple trees. ... Can't wait to see how they do next year.

I found this to be very helpful as it relates to fruit thinning and pruning to achieve the same. Examples of 2nd, 3rd, 4th year wood, fruit buds, fruit spurs and demonstration of the open form and aggressive reduction of fruit-lets. Thanks

How to Prune an Apple Tree Part 3/3

How to Prune an Apple Tree Part 3/3 Okay film 3 of the 3, about a 15 year old 00:00:03 rosette on early days of prune. You can see I’ve really got a wide open spacing there. We’ve got four main branches coming out at about 18 inches to two 2 above the ground. There’s lot of fruit buds that I’ve cut out quite a lots amount of wood really probably 20% of the tree, something like that. It’s still about 90% of the fruit bulbs that there were. So I have gone to some trouble to spare them, for lots of fruit bud but the fruit buds now are moved widely spaced. I think you look at some of the videos that I put out earlier. It’s about the need to fin the fruit. This sort of pruning essentially is doing some fanning before hand. That’s why I’ve been looking after these trees for 15 years or so. I know how much were fruit that capable of bearing and I know what the optimum is so I’m doing some pruning to displace a fruit out now as I’ve said 00:01:13 if a tree is a capable of bearing 400 small fruit, the tree will be much, much better of bearing 150 decent sized fruit, not any will be more worth of having but it will exhaust the tree less. I’ll see if I come back to this tree in blossom time and harvest just to let you know how it goes.
