V P I Extension Advises Pruning Apple and Fruit Trees Cautiously
The V P I Extension Division urges careful winter pruning of fruit trees. For apples light thinning to open the canopy, ensure sun and air flow, and avoid excess wood growth. Older trees may need staged pruning over two to three years with emphasis on removing large, interfering limbs. Peaches need moderate thinning and heading back, while plums and cherries require only light trimming to avoid crowding.
