I think you overlooked a bit the explanation on reduction cut. What is the difference between a reduction cut and an improper thining leading to decay ? The reduction let some leaves and grow on the branch ensuring its life ? Anyway thank you for information, I'm actually trying to learn how to manage the apple trees that I planted 2 years ago.
Thank you for your comment. I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm sorry if my reply is not accurate. I'm doing my best to reply. If you cut it improperly, it will rot. Even if you cut it correctly, it may still rot. Good luck.
If I may step in with some explanation... (Kenyu can correct me if he disagrees.) 1. Both reduction cuts and thinning cuts can be made properly or improperly. Don't leave stubs. 2. The goal of pruning is to take what nature has given the tree, and shape it into its best possible outcome, regarding strength and fruiting. It's a bit like the winter sport of curling, where nature casts the stone on the ice, and you scurry around with the broom, trying to change its course in the most constructive way. This usually involves removing branches that are too long (susceptible to breakage), interfering with other branches (crossing/rubbing), or not receiving enough light. You want strong branches that receive good light. 3. Reduction cuts take off PART of a branch to reduce weight, encourage fruiting, or allow more light in. 4. Thinning cuts take off ENTIRE branches, for much the same reasons. 5. It isn't too difficult to create a pretty, open shape, but it requires thought and experience to know what the future effects of pruning will be. 6. Get out and try it; we must all start somewhere.
