Terminology and Making Proper Twig Cuts
www.wintergreenhouse.com/plant-guides/fruit-trees
When pruning any tree, never remove more than 1/3 of the canopy. In general, remove:
- rubbing branches
- branches that are growing into the center of the tree, straight up, or straight down
- broken or dead branches
- suckers and sprouts: Retain a small number of well-placed suckers within the tree to keep new growth closer to the center of teh tree and to replace old scaffold limbs as they are removed.
