Carol, Ive watched many, many pruning videos and yours was the best. I live in Northern Colorado, Weld county and just planted two bare root dwarf Pink Lady and Golden Delicious. This video explained it very simply and to the point. Also great advice on how to prune dwarf apple trees. Thanks so much. I am bookmarking this Vid..

[@mqeqeshe1]

Finally, an apple tree pruning video with actual information!!!

[@siriosstar4789]

Man , this is jammed packed full of excellent information. The distinction between the types of buds is a great piece of info. Thanks for this video.

[@andrewboyddotcom]

Boys oh boys. This woman knows her onions. Big help. Many thanks. I have an ancient and historic apple tree in my garden and for lack of knowledge I haven't done much with it apart from trimming back the annual new growth. This is very helpful.

[@matthogan6471]

One of the best pruning videos. Thanks you for showing the growth and fruiting spurs... not just talking about them

[@Bootydoc1999]

[@mhasting3376]

I watch this each year to bolster the confidence to go prune up my old trees after inheriting them when we moved in. Bless you Carol O’mera!

A great and concise video! Thanks for the information.

[@mrzigwot]

Great explanation. Answered just about all of my questions. Now to get pruning.

[@mariawatherston603]

Thank you Carol, very good explanation. Unfortunately I had already started hacking into my apple trees and have knocked off those little growth bits that have probably about 5 years on them, oops ! I hope my trees will come back and fruit, I guess they're going to have to start all over again.

[@idunno1248]

[@jacobresor7517]

Gosh this was so good, thank you

[@LovingTransformatio]

This is really helpful and informative. Great to have the detail on this. Thank you

[@billsomrak]

Wish you could come to my back yard and help me prune my apple trees. Until a month ago, I had only red varieties (mostly red delicious, but one winesap). I was told I need at least one yellow variety for pollination reasons, so I took out the west most red delicious in the line of trees along my back yard fence, and put in a yellow delicious. I know pretty much to try to keep the center open, cut off all vertical grown from horizontal branches, and cut back the seasonal vertical growth ( I try to keep them at 6 ft. high after pruning). At least I now have a better idea about which buds are for what purpose. Might go out today and start the pruning process and hope that I get a decent amount of apples next year. This year, I got 5 (five) on 6 trees. All 5 were pecked by birds, and then yellow jackets ruined them the rest of the way. Yet, I see age old apple trees growing wild on golf courses and along bike trails, which never receive ANY pruning or care, and they are loaded with hundreds if not thousands of apples. I REALLY is discouraging! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@debrabuddie7691]

So helpful!

[@radharcanna]

Very useful advice.

[@Infidel_in_Kaaba]

Thanks She is good and has knowledge

[@MrChonk1]

excellent video. thanks

[@f0rumrr]

Got the felco f-2, one of the best pruners you can buy. She got to know a little something. I prefer the corona bp 4250, half the price with a MUCH better cost vs performance ratio.

[@SuperOhdannyboy]

f0rumrr except if you are going to use them on a regular professional basis. Almost all professionals use Felco of they can afford it.

[@andrewkikkert3454]

WONDERFUL!!! Thank you for sharing this information.

[@RealBradMiller]

Thanks Carol! Great info!

[@shadowknightgladstay4856]

Great video.

[@alanpeterson2160]

Great informational video. Thank you !

[@Iloveorganicgardening]

Thank you so much! That was awesome. I have some trees I need to prune soon

[@aprilraspberry6426]

Thanks Carol

[@frankphoto2]

Just had to do One very large and four smaller apple trees - just what i needed 11 hours into it and another 1 or to to go

[@marinanelson8485]

Excellent video.

[@pankajrawat7958]

Very informative and detailed video could you please make some more videos on pruning please thank you from india

[@jenniespaghetti]

Wonderful video. Thank you

[@martalogu218]

Very nice Carol. Only 1 thing to ask. When you cut with an by-pass pruner is not better to put the anvil in an outside position and the cutting blade inside just to avoid crushing the wood remaining on the tree. I heard that this is the main advantage of an by-pass pruner versus anvil pruner.

[@webcams9914]

Awesome vid Carol. Thank you!

[@stefanohamam3913]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@tvn2920]

On 1 year old fruit tree buds on old wood leave them or prune them. Thanks. Carol

[@hamdillahjan5407]

Very good tuotorial and to the points vidio

[@tvn2920]

Hi. Carol. And also long branches pruned off could that branches be rooting to plant some new trees and please show me how. Would be appreciate that. Carol

[@parttimecomix]

Great stuff

[@jebktb]

Great video!

[@ddthakur5468]

Very good knowledge given by you mam thanku so mch

[@anthonyscinocca4380]

My apple trees are always reaching for the sky, and those branches are too high without using a tall ladder. So I cut them off. And they grow back every year, dozens of branches straight up. how do I stop the tree from trying to grow so tall. I’m a senior and don’t want to climb the trees.

[@Ohsage1111]

THAT was very helpful! Thanks!

[@GUYJOE58]

Excellent advise! Thank you

[@DucPham-ok5ko]

I"m living in MN (zone 4 B). I got some Asian pear trees. I watched a lot of clips about pruning. I'm confusing about that. What's different between summer pruning and winter pruning? which one for more fruit and which one for shape

[@n2kois]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@tvn2920]

Hi. Carol. I put 2 apricot trees and 2 plum trees down last. June. Now they look healthy should they get prune this year or next year. ( buds are still small right now) please help me Carol. Thank you so much

[@stephenkutney9626]

Real good job. Very helpful.

[@Bajaranger]

Hi Carol, thanks for posting this video. Everywhere I hear the same about the vertical branches can break easier but I would think that the leverage would be less as the weight is being transferred more to the main trunk, versus a horizontal branch having more leverage, therefore pulling down on the branch more. Are side branches are more flexible. Just curious.

[@meyo4158]

Do these guidelines apply to pear trees at all, for example the bud Characteristics.

[@felixchen9939]

very helpful, thank you

[@ptrain9020]

In the video you mentioned that you want 3 year old wood or older for fruit to be produced on. Will fruit produce on two year old wood? I see spurs developing on my two year old wood. Some are short spurs and others are longer.

[@rodithatroncoso4724]

Hi Carol, can you re plant those branches that you removed from the tree?

[@isaaccaldera]

Very informitive. Thank you.
