Time for the first cut
We prune first species that are not very sensitive to low temperatures (apple trees), and then plums and pear trees. With thename on the leafless tree crowns, it is easy to see which branches can be cut down and which ones should be kept.
Stems competing with the guide
Twigs may appear on the top of apple, pear and other trees and begin to compete with the guide. We cut out these shoots, because the guide should be only one.
Thoughtful topping of trees
Twigs overlapping
Some of the older shoots on the edge of the crown begin to overhang and lay on other shoots after a year of abundant fruiting.It is caused by the fact that the fruits gain mass as they ripen and they gradually bend the twigs.After the harvest is finished and the fruit is picked, the branches are usually unable to straighten. The only option is to cut out the entire branch at the bend.
