Since you were pruning for a central leader, I wondered were these apple/ Pear trees? Would you Prune stone fruit with an open center style. I'm new and trying to learn. Thanks for your videos!
Open center pruning for stone fruit is appropriate for commercial applications where reducing labor and maximizing fruit yields are the goal. Open center trees do not establish as quickly or live as long as trees with central leaders.
@RaintreeNursery Thank you for sharing that info. I've never heard that before. BTW - I live on the border of north Florida where it is extremely hot and humid. Would that make a difference?
Like #10. Thank you.
