| My question is pretty straightforward. I have two Japanese plums (one might be dead), an Asian pear, and a peach tree. Spring is right around the corner. Is there any general pruning anyone suggests I do? I did summer pruning on all the trees when they were planted last year (my first year with growing fruit trees) as I want to keep them at a manageable height. I cut back branches growing toward the interior of the trees, branches growing skyward and I tried to maintain groups of laterals well spaced. It's probably still looks like pretty amateur work but I tried. lol. I'll post pics when possible. Thanks guys. |

| Seems like you have the right idea. Dave Wilson Nursery has some great pruning videos on youtube. |

| Pranksta, I've done most of my major pruning. Right now my son and I are removing small weak shoots on peaches. All the over-vigorous shoots have already been removed and we are pretty much removing anything less than 8" (unless it's on the very outside portion of the canopy). |

| Thanks guys. I will check out the Dave Wilson vids and keep those things in mind with the peach tree when I get a moment to go outside this weekend. |
