Pruning an Apple Tree (cont)
By: National Gardening Association Editors
Tips
Use pruners for cutting limbs up to 3/4 inch diameter. Loppers can handle up to 1-1/2 inch cuts. Use a pruning saw to remove larger branches.
When apple trees reach a desirable height, cut the central leader back to the uppermost branch and remove subsequent upward-growing shoots.
