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.
