Fruit tree pruning - Kath Irvine

Apple in June pre-pruning. Look first for the structure - the trunk and main scaffolds

Check the wood as soon as you prune - this is lovely and healthy

Half-pruned Hetlina apple

Three-year-old Tydemans Late. First year of fruiting. A nice, open balanced structure developing.

Small trees mean bird nets are easy to apply
