I've been watching a number of pruning instruction videos for my peach tree. Most talk only about the platform and taking the branches that rub, acute angles, and reducing the foliage and opening the middle. This the first one I've seen that answered my questions. I now have an understanding of cutting technique, precisely where to cut and why, just so much information that I am delighted to have found it. This video is terrific.

Glad the video was helpful. Peach trees are different from all other fruit trees and require their own pruning technique. Here's a video where Orin shows how a peach tree grows its fruit buds and how to prune accordingly. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq9xes9ilbjacYU.html

My approach to pruning, while generally similar to your own, varies in a couple of ways. The techniques I employ have been applied to fruit trees that were at least 20 years old when I bought my place on Oregon's south coast 48 years ago. So the phrase, 'tried and true', most certainly applies. Because I have standard apple, plum, and Asian pear trees, their tendency to produce vigorous growth is borne out every year, with new growth anywhere from 18" to over 36". So it is imperative to cut way back, leaving anywhere from 3 to 5 leaf buds, otherwise the branches would become too whippy and incapable of supporting fruit, as you have pointed out. The direction which these buds face is typically outward so the center of the trees are open to sun and air movement. Where I deviate from your approach is where I make the cut. I gently slide my pruner down just above the bud I am about to cut until the bud itself stops further progress, at which point I snip. I know you spoke of dieback, but I have only seen that occur less than 1% of the time. When you leave a stub, it will die off and eventually rot-- a situation that doesn't benefit the tree. As a remedy, if you go back later to snip off those dead stubs, you are then pruning that one branch twice. On my large trees where I have made close to a thousand cuts on one, that is too labor intensive and, I have found, unnecessary, for nothing is gained. The other difference is in the angle at which you make your cut. The greater the angle, the more surface area needs to go through the healing process. On a tree with several hundred cuts, this amounts to a great deal of energy that the tree expends in recovery. While I am cognizant of not leaving a flat surface upon which moisture can cling, most of the branches grow at such an angle that a perpendicular cut is as capable of shedding water as your steeply angled ones. Also it will heal in a year's time. Angled cuts definitely need to be employed if the situation provides no alternative. Pruning techniques widely vary among orchardists. There are some constants, but the purpose of my contribution here is to show that other approaches have also been successfully taken. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Gary - thanks for a through description of your pruning methods. After nearly 50 years of pruning the same trees, it's clear you have developed a pruning system that works well for your trees and you. You also make the case that there are variations on basic pruning methods that will produce healthy trees and a lot of good fruit. Here's a video on summer pruning of apple trees. If yer interested, give a look and see how it compares with your summer pruning: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8-fesadnM2sl5c.html Thanks for your comments and here's wishing you continued success with your orchard!

Right before the 15:35 time mark I believe you said " shortening cuts in 2 year old wood ( or older ) stops the growth of that lateral " and redirects the growth to a one year old secondary lateral lower down from the shortening cut. I have noticed that phenomenon but didn't realize the reasoning that such a cut stopped the growth of the branch of 2 year old wood. Per your lesson at the 15:35 I understand what I observed

The philosopher king of tree pruners. See the tree, be the tree. Thanks for the education. It will improve my technique greatly. Demonstrated for apples, but the same for peaches and plums I trust.
@ucscagroecology Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. Apples and pears are very similar, but peaches are quite different in the pruning methods. Apple blossoms last for 8-10 seasons, but peaches only last one season. Here are several videos on pruning peaches: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq9xes9ilbjacYU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLZhmJOp3si2lIE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7JdoKyXrp2vko0.html

Thanks! If you have peaches in your orchard, they require a different pruning approach from apples. Here's a video that explains how to prune peach trees: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq9xes9ilbjacYU.html

Got a few apple trees 2 years ago and had no idea what to do with them regarding pruning. Didn't know when, where, how, etc to prune and didn't want to mess them up. Now, after watching this video, I have an informed idea of what to do. Thanks

I did have a few flowers:) but late in the spring. So, no fruits. That was the first time my tree (grown from seed) gave flowers. In the summer, I think it was late June, I gave a summer pruning. Those I cut all the way back to the main branch, right now, it has grown back tons of 3 feet long :)

The "deeper" the pruning cut, the greater the growth response form the tree. Best of luck with your tree.

Glad it helped. You got the right approach...cut and see how the tree responds. After a few years, you'll figure it out. You may want to take photos of the trees before you prune to use as a baseline for seeing how the tree responds over time. Below is a link to several dozen more fruit tree care videos.
