caring for apple tree grafts

sitayers
9 years ago

I am the care taker of an historic grove of apple trees in Midway Utah. The elevation is 5500. The newly grafted trees are about 3 yrs old now. I am going to start trimming the suckers at the base of each tree. Should I start to trim the branches now?
