Pruning

I did some thinning and branch-bending on my apple and pear yesterday and at the end of the day I put my ladder and tools away, stepped back from my work and put my hands on my hips. Gee, I thought, I wish I knew what I was doing.

I did the same today, using the rocks in sandwich bag method, also pruned the cherries and plums. I guess I’m just looking for shape, light and air penetration, but really I have no idea :sunglasses:

I think it’s easier to prune for shape when leaves are gone. I just control height this time of year. Cut back some of the new growth.
