Training and Pruning Young Apple and Pear Trees

This factsheet describes maintenance required for the first two years and beyond in order to maximize the yield on your fruiting trees.

"Proper training and pruning is essential for development of structurally strong, productive apple and pear trees that will bear high quality fruits annually for many years. Since pruning reduces potential fruit production, the ideal management system is one that requires a minimal amount of pruning to achieve the goals of exceptional fruit quality and sturdy tree structure."
