I just pruned my apple tree here in Massachusetts, USA… The lady in this video is such a lovely person. My mother was from the United Kingdom, I wish I could get my citizenship, and I could have a neighbor like this. The United States has worn me out. Thank you for the great video
I am just starting to work with an established apple tree... Very useful thank you. I find many other adivosiry videos drone on before getting to the crux of the topic. Thank you...
Some of the extra talking might be to alert you about kinds of apples that fruit on the end of branches. Pruning them this way would cut off the fruit buds.
This is great! Totally to the point, I love your passion and your teachign method. Thank you. Right... Time to prune my trees. Best wishes from NZ :-) ps. yes it's winter here now!
Hi Sally; I do appreciate that you just got on with it and explained the techniques and reasoning in such clear and precise language without the addition of your favourite music and fancy camerawork. I will share with my mates on FB. Well pruned.
Most helpful video. Straight to the point. We're just about to tackle 60 neglected apple trees in the Park Home village where we live so this has been really helpful.
Great tutorial no frills just plain explanation - refreshing to listen to you. Thankyou, do you want any scions for grafting if so let me know and Ill send you some. three varieties Golden Delicious, Arthur Turner, Ellisons Orange
Thank you for your info. I see you have two lovely greenhouses in your garden. Are they glass? Looking forward to buying one and still very doubtful of what to buy. Thank you from Portugal.
hello Sally, water shoots are worth a mention, normally these are caused by incorrect pruning over previous years on everyday apple trees in private gardens.
My kellie apple tree has lots of leaves and are compacted and very close to together with not much fruit it only grows to two metres it is the goblet shape but doesn’t look it because of of the growth where am I going wrong🤔
Hello i’m living in Canada and my apple tree badly needs to be pruned but I just didn’t want to do it not knowing what I was doing… Thanks to your video here I now know and I am very thankful… My challenges right now that the buds have started growing just maybe a quarter of an inch half an inch out and I wondered if it’s too late to prune it.? Thx Jolene
leave it as i understand you can also choose wich direction the brench shall grow by end-bud since it should be the one producing a new brench. so you dont have to have that bud face outwards but you do not want it to grow into the other brenches.
you seem to know what you are doing...I have a dwarf apple tree that has grown quite tall.There are a half dozen larger limbs growing straight up..which I believe need cut out. When I cut them..do I need to paint the cut part or leave it to scar over by itself?
I had never heard that the ideal spacing of spurs is 4 to 6inches a part and that the spurs need to be removed if closer. I assume that is true for both apple tree and pear tree. Thank you
Horrible pruning. The tree is too dense and instead of removing vertical branches, the half cut forces more growth and new branching to a more dense crown.
i would try prune it back, you can leave a leave brench on each main brench you cut to increase chance of its survival or cut one larger mainbrench each year if you want to be extra careful
So 1/4 million people have seen secateurs being used back to front...........the cutting blade of bypass secateurs must always be on the downward (treeward) side of the cut otherwise you get poor cuts leading to more disease, as in this instance.
DEAR MAM I WATCHED MANY VIDEOS BEFORE BUT YOUR VIDEO IS USEFUL FOR ME I AM A HORTICULTURIST FINALLY DONE MY DEGREE. AS YOU SAID ABOUT DONT PRUNE CHERRY IT WILL GOT DISEASE YEA YOU ARE RIGHT I DONE THIS TO MAY CHERRY TREE AND IT DIES. THEN WHICH MONTH IS GOOD FOR CHERRY PRUNING.

I’m a complete novice at tree care. I found this short video really helpful 👍
3 feet between limbs cut it out if not
You tube wins again. Clear concise explanation. Thank you.
A great video, clear and concise. Great to watch as a reminder - with such a long gap between pruning, I always forget! Many thanks.
This is by far the best explanation I have seen. Wonderful and a big THANK YOU. Greetings to all.
Thanks for this. I like the way you explain WHY you’re doing what you’re doing.

Fabulous...best explanation of apple tree pruning I have ever seen...NOW I will prune with confidence..this afternoon thank you.
Thank you for a concise and informative video!
Thanks for the great video, I used it last year. Now time to start pruning again as it’s winter here in NZ 😁
Thank you! Very helpful for someone who hasn't got a clue (like me 😁).
Thank you, Sally. You explained it all very well. I'm going to prune my sister's apple trees next weekend and I'm feeling confident already. :-)
Most helpful video. Straight to the point. We're just about to tackle 60 neglected apple trees in the Park Home village where we live so this has been really helpful.
Thank you. Helped me a lot.
Thank you again, Watch yur video every year at this time has a reminder.
Really useful. Concise and conveys the logic for each task.
Refreshingly to the point! useful information/explanation time ratio off the charts!!
Simple and to the point. Thanks Sally.

Can you come over and prune ours please? Haha. Thanks very much, will be watching again when the leaves have all come off
Greetings from Northeast Tennessee. Enjoyed your video.🖋
That was great Thanks. Short, sweet and to the point. Very helpful.
No heading back cuts
Thank you for your info. I see you have two lovely greenhouses in your garden. Are they glass? Looking forward to buying one and still very doubtful of what to buy. Thank you from Portugal.
Really helpful Sally, thanks. I'll get out there and do it now.
Interesting idea, decreasing the density of the fruiting spurs. Is this to decrease the output in order to increase the quality of the fruit?
Very helpful. Thank you. I'll go and do it now!
hello Sally, water shoots are worth a mention, normally these are caused by incorrect pruning over previous years on everyday apple trees in private gardens.
Thanks Sally, so clear and helpful.

Thank you for this helpful and concise video
Thanks. That was useful. Just picked my apples.
I always prune around march good vid

Great video and very helpful Thank you.
Excellent explanation.
Thank you. That was most helpful.
Can i get that tool for cutting branches.. As it is not good quality here
Thank you Sally!
simple and clear thank you!
Thank you for the advice, 👍
I’ve had someone come on to prune apple trees in Feb is this ok Thankyou
Hi do you cut off the outer facing bud or do cut back just leaving the bud ? Thank you.
leave it as i understand you can also choose wich direction the brench shall grow by end-bud since it should be the one producing a new brench. so you dont have to have that bud face outwards but you do not want it to grow into the other brenches.
Someone who knows their stuff and ignores the waffle. Perfect.
I don't understand "prune back to an outer facing bud". And do you leave the bud on the stem or cut it off?
An out facing bud is a bud that points outwards, NOT into the centre of the tree, air flow around the centre of the tree is very important.
Well done !
you seem to know what you are doing...I have a dwarf apple tree that has grown quite tall.There are a half dozen larger limbs growing straight up..which I believe need cut out. When I cut them..do I need to paint the cut part or leave it to scar over by itself?
I really messed up pruning my apple trees last year. I have loads of fruit, but they're all on long new growth which is really hanging low
Thanks for the video
thanks from canada
I have wished that I could see the end result
Excellent, thank you.
Nice work
I had never heard that the ideal spacing of spurs is 4 to 6inches a part and that the spurs need to be removed if closer. I assume that is true for both apple tree and pear tree. Thank you
FYI...If cutting diseased branches....sterilise secateurs after cuts or you will spread it to all new cuts 🙏🏻
you should shorten the new growth at least 1/2 or more.
very useful, Thank you
Horrible pruning. The tree is too dense and instead of removing vertical branches, the half cut forces more growth and new branching to a more dense crown.
I found a old apple orchard on my property it's grown in with a bunch of trees should I open it up or what should I do
i would try prune it back, you can leave a leave brench on each main brench you cut to increase chance of its survival or cut one larger mainbrench each year if you want to be extra careful
Awesome
V good
Really thankyou .. thank you
Most of the old wood in that tree will have no leaves, fruit bud or fruit on it. All the fruit will be on the outside of the tree.
So 1/4 million people have seen secateurs being used back to front...........the cutting blade of bypass secateurs must always be on the downward (treeward) side of the cut otherwise you get poor cuts leading to more disease, as in this instance.
DEAR MAM I WATCHED MANY VIDEOS BEFORE BUT YOUR VIDEO IS USEFUL FOR ME I AM A HORTICULTURIST FINALLY DONE MY DEGREE.
AS YOU SAID ABOUT DONT PRUNE CHERRY IT WILL GOT DISEASE YEA YOU ARE RIGHT I DONE THIS TO MAY CHERRY TREE AND IT DIES.
THEN WHICH MONTH IS GOOD FOR CHERRY PRUNING.
Summer
where is your snow 1-2 meters?
She not totally up on the latest pruning coming out of Holland England and France
Wrong method of pruning. Mam you are encouraging only vegetative growth by heading back.
I think what she did is perfectly fine.
knobbly bits
Nice but tree has some disease...
Thats just not good .... rubbish:)
Thank you Sally!
