How to Prune an Overgrown Fruit Tree | Neglected Apple Tree Pruning

When we moved into our property, it came with quite a few overgrown fruit trees. These apple trees in particular have been a labor of love - trying to save them from years of neglect. In this video, we talk about how & when to prune overgrown fruit trees. There's a general shape to consider and a few principles to abide by, but everyone's pruning plan will be unique to the trees on their property. We also try to explain why certain cuts are being made and talk more about the benefits of maintaining a well-pruned tree.
