Wonderful! I have not yet had the chance to shape a stone fruit tree. Only apple and some ornamentals mainly haha. Smart to only take a bit at a time. Wise to take some of those lower branches with less light and such. My general loose rule of thumb is no more than 70% in autumn and not more than 25% at one time in summer, although when it regrow substantially often ya can cut off a few more the next month etc etc. That all varies but has been a healthy guideline for more :) That tree looks very healthy and growing rapidly!! You're 1st fruit set will probably be pretty substantial
Look at all that new growth. Nice! We are planting some new trees this fall. Good info thank you

This thing is so vigorous I am getting ready to do more cuts. This is super fun, I wish I did this with the rest of the trees.
