    Okay, I followed your advice and kept cutting until I felt it looked pretty aired out. My only question now is whether I should go ahead and remove the stump also. lol jk.

    My dad asked an Amish guy when it was best to prune Apple trees. He replied, "Any day except Sunday and Christmas". LOL

    finally someone that shows the practical part of it all. this is first time it doesn't seem overwhelming. looks like almost everyone else just wants to show off how much they know about pruning but not what they actually know, so you get to the conclusion you're better off calling in an expensive expert. this was different, makes me believe i can do the stuff without reading tons of literature on the matter, i don't need a degree, right? appreciate the vid, thanks James!

    for the love of god do not cut flush like he has! it causes bigger wounds to heal! this is old methods that are not valid anymore! also please remember.... winter pruning should be at a minimum... winter pruning is for vigour during summer..... summer pruning is for fruiting next year!

    May I suggest not cutting into the collar and loppers are made for cutting anything between 1/4 inch and 2 inches. Great demonstration though!

    Everybody prunes a little bit differently. Thanks for being so thorough in your method. Only thing that caused me to wince a bit was when you sawed deep along the branch junctions, through the collar. I can understand for a visual preference to not have any knobs, except you may want to consider dieback along the cut. That saw looks so sharp. Very clean cuts. Thanks for sharing. Don't take the negative comments so seriously. Everyone is a critic, and few are experts.

    I'm a bit late to the party, but for a greenhorn like me, I have difficulty visualizing what the tree will look like with foliage, blossoms, and/or fruit. It would be really nice to see what a tree looks like after dormant pruning, and then also what that same tree looks like in full dress the following season!

    TY for the time you spent on this video! Most channels show a couple cuts then move on. The repetitive cuts you made helped solidify the technique and helps us learn how aggressive you can be with pruning. :D

    i cant wait to prune my apple trees this winter. I wish I would have watched this 6 months ago. My poor little trees are awfully crowded.

    An orchardist taught my how to prune fruit trees. It's not hard like you said.

    James, this is just terrific instruction. I’m training a young boy who keeps my yard how to take care of all my many apples and pears. He’s going to love this video!

    Thanks for simplifying this topic. You are right! I've almost been scared to prune based on fear of doing something wrong, but once I did last spring, I got great production!

    I watch this video back every year to sharpen up my knowledge before i start my winter prune. Good job. Happy new year James

    Just found this one. Thank you for keeping it easy. I inherited old trees that i’m working my way back 1/3rd at a time. I am getting fruit, but they aren’t very organized. I appreciate you showing many of your trees as opposed to showing only one. I really wrapped my brain around your examples, and i feel confident. Always blessings to you and Tuck and whoever else is on your team.

    I have watched a few of your videos and am hooked on you! Your enthusiasm for gardening is the same as mine making it so easy to understand and relate, also learn! You give such awesome knowledge in the simplest least complex ways! Thank you!

    You are very good at explaining things precisely and giving the reasons why, which helps me remember. Thank you!

    I'm in Jersey growing my first two apple trees! They started forming leaves for the first time, so now I need to learn to prune! Thank you for this video!

    Thank you, your video was very helpful. I had a roommate almost destroy a persimmon tree in our front yard. It's been two seasons and finally it's recovered enough to prune. You simplified pruning in a way that makes a lot of sense.
