Pruning fruit trees: core rules and open center peach plan
As days lengthen, prune dead or weak wood first and remove water sprouts from apples. Use central leader for apples, pears need similar structure, peaches open center. Train scaffolds, maintain 18 to 24 inch gaps, avoid shading, remove fruiting wood when heavy, and stop after about 25 percent removal. Old trees retrain over three to four years. Sunlit days invite pruning.
