How to successfully prune fruit in 3 simple steps

Step 1: from the trunk

First start from the trunk. Remove all the vertical and too vigorous iterations of the previous year (greedy) because they will not bear fruit. Clear the inside of the crown sparingly so that the sun can reach the fruits that are not on the periphery of the crown.

Step 2: along the branch

  • Cut off dead or diseased branches.
  • Remove branches that rub or cross and keep those that are facing outward, the most vigorous.

Step 3: at the end of the branch

Finish by shortening the main branch somewhat, making sure to come back to a bud (if possible with flowers) facing outwards. This bud will generate the rest of the branch.

Once you have completed step 3, move on to the next branch, and start over from step 1. You see, in the end, it’s not that complicated!

Finally, take a step back from time to time and contemplate your entire tree as well as the progress of your size. Make sure that its new shape is regular, harmonious, and aesthetic. It’s up to you to define what shape you want to give it.

Professional advice 1:

No need to apply healing medicine! Waste neither your time nor your money. In addition, the tree is quite capable of handling the cuts you have just made. The tree does not heal like you and me, it compartmentalizes. 

 Once each branch has been groomed, the tree will sport a new shape. The new terminal buds will be stimulated and fruiting will then be optimal. 

 Many homeowners are reluctant to prune their small trees themselves because many specialized books present this as a complex operation. It must be recognized that this is true if you want to master all the intricacies. On the other hand, if you prune methodically, as described above, and don’t make big cuts, you can definitely do it. And even if the first few years you don’t select the right buds, your fruit tree will recover without a problem. 

Professional advice 2:

If your fruit tree has been neglected or even abandoned for a few years in a row, I recommend that you contact an expert specializing in tree pruning, so that he performs the 1st pruning, which can be more tedious.
