Pruning Fruit Trees - Pruning For The First 4 Years, Part 1 of 2

This prevents it from becoming weighed down on one side. Having too many branches on one side could cause the tree to become permanently crooked. Many gardeners don t even think about pruning their trees until they start to bear fruit. This is a big mistake, and you should never neglect to care for a tree just because it hasn t yet begun to produce. 

Or they can sit undetected in the branches and munch away all day. A bird certainly has its versatility on its side. Those little guys can be a real hassle to catch or repel.

Your choice can affect everything about your growing experience, including the amount of work you have to put in and the amount of rewards (fruit) you will obtain. Dwarf trees are ideal if you only have a limited amount of open space in your yard. 

Before you start chopping away at the tree, you should wear proper eye and face protection in case any wood chips fly towards your eyes. Whenever you operate a power tool, always be sure to wear proper protection for any exposed parts of your body. When making the cut, you do not want to just cut a straight line into the tree.
