In this video, I share how to prune fruit trees for small size and maximum production! Left unpruned, most fruit trees will grow large with mediocre fruit production. Pruning fruit trees stimulates fruiting, and proper pruning can produce more fruit on a smaller tree! This video will teach you everything you need to know to prune fruit trees with confidence.

Just a note, the process of tipping is to stop aapical dominance. The tip produces an inhibitor that prevents growth . The nearer the tip, the less growth as the inhibitor is of lower concentration the further from the tip.

Sorry to correct you, I did a master in plant science. The growth hormone you’re talking about is Auxin. It’s produced in the plant apical buds (apical dominance) right at the tip where new cells are forming, suppressing indeed the axillary buds. So it’s not moving up the stem and collecting there but moving from the tip down the stem. However, still enjoyed your video. Thanks!

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos; the topic is what caught my attention. I've had 2 apple trees for 20 - 30 yrs. They were purchased as "Dwarf" but were mislabeled. The past two decade I've just been cutting the "uprights" to remove height. (You're probably cringing.) I'm in my 70's and was going to just cut them down this year because I don't have the energy or conficence to climb a ladder every year to trim the heights. As I sat listening, taking notes, and watching you show "how to", I thanked God for the hope I have for being able to correctly prune the remaining one which has amazing fruit production each year, a lot is just to high up for me to harvest. (The other one had extreme thinning/cutting a month ago.) All to say ... thank you so much for your excellent video!!!

I’ve read and watched so much about pruning, but my poor trees have been quaking as they see me coming. It never made sense when I looked at my actual trees. With your video I finally understand what is needed and why. I have just moved to a home with an overgrown orchard with many tall leaders, water-shoots and very long, thin, low laterals. I’ve removed the dead and crossing branches but the rest confused me. I feel much more confident now to help them out. Thank you so much.

@TheMillennialGardener 3 ай бұрын

The thing about pruning is that it actually rejuvenates trees. In nature, trees don't live their maximum lives, because dead wood accumulates, branches grow into the tree, insect pests invade the dead/dying wood, etc. Pruning actually extends the tree's life and vigor. It's also not in a tree's best interest to fruit heavily. They only need to produce "enough" seed to reproduce. But when humans intervene, a tree can afford to produce a lot more fruit since we're doing it a service by getting rid of all the dead wood and keeping great airflow and light penetration into the canopy. A well-pruned tree will fruit more and live longer, believe it or not, in the same way that domestication extends an animal's life much longer than living in the wild since so many bad things happen in the wild.

This is just the video I needed to see! I have 4 yr old peach trees and I’ve never really pruned them as I had no idea what I was doing. I can tell they need something to help them grow stronger. I think I can do the pruning now with this video 🤞

Thank you for such clear cut and evaluate teaching! I’ve been pruning my giant old pomegranate for about 5 years. I think no more TLC and more tough love. Last year I was unable to prune it and only got 3 fruit! This winter I pruned and have hundreds of blossoms. I’m sure next year will be even better! Thank you. As a reward to myself I ordered the Japanese saw. 😊

Thank you so much! Moved into our home in September and to our surprise- had a very mature peach tree! My kids love it and I am just ecstatic- but it definitely needs some maintenance. I feel much more confident now and think I can tackle planting new fruit trees in the future!

Thank you so much. This is so helpful. I appreciate how you explain why each cut is made and the hormone activity. That makes things so much clearer. This step-by-step has really given me confidence to prune my backyard orchard.
