Afternoon. We have family that have purchased a property that has a number of fruit trees (mainly apple). They have been left for a few years. Keen to prune and start caring for them again. Wondering if anyone can give some advise about where to start. We have read about not taking too much off (less than 25%) but unsure after that. Any advise would be appreciated - thank you
It would be better if you combined your three identical posts with different trees into a single post with a title that’s more descriptive than “advice needed” – maybe “Pruning advice for established apple trees on newly purchased land” would probably get more people with the relevant experience to click on it.

He’s limited to one photo per post right now, so he had to spread them out.

They could have still been in the same thread at least.
That’s a good point.
I couldn’t work out how to do that apologies

That tree is a bit more on the wild side with the trunks. I would embrace the trunks and trim the side growth. And open the center. But I’m fairly novice.
