I have 3 trees, here's pictures of the trees. I just bought these trees this year and planted it in the spring. 2 had fruits on it but only one managed to keep one fruit one the tree. I need tips with how to prune the trees since I have no experience with fruit trees. I do have a problem with deer eating the leaves off the tree and I barricaded it. So when I prune it I want to able able to get fruit easy with a small ladder but not easy for a deer to get and eat the leaves.

I did close ups on the branching points on the main trunk so you can better see how the tree branching is, just view each photo in full resolution so you can zoom into the picture.

I can't answer about the pruning, but I'd recommend getting that mulch out of the cage. To me, it looks like the mulch could harbor meadow voles or mice.
