Most bare root trees are two years old. I prefer to work with whips or maidens when training fruit trees, but if you have a tree that is two or three years old, there are some things you can do to backtrack in order to create balanced growth in the mature tree. Mostly it's the same as training a one year old fruit tree, but I like to shorten any existing branches way back, so that new main branches can catch up.
