Young apple trees are trained, not pruned. “There’s a big difference between pruning and training a tree,” says University of Delaware extension county agent Derby Walker. “In pruning, you remove the excess and damaged wood. When you train a tree, you’re developing its shape and strength.” A year-old apple tree is very simple to prune, Walker says. Try to select five twigs which will become the permanent branches. One upright twig will be the leader. Usually this is about two feet long and should be kept 6 to 10 inches longer than the other four bran- Steel Wheels Made To Order 5 hole & 6 hole in stock.

These limbs should be spaced around the tree so that none of them overlaps another. When branches overlap, the shade created will affect fruit quality on the lower limb and may eventually kill it, Walker says. The lowest branch on the tree should be about 30 inches above the ground for easy mowing and ac cess. Usually the other limbs are about 6 inches further up and spaced evenly around the trunk. The angle at which limbs meet the trunk should be between 60 and 90 degrees. A branch with a narrower crotch may break under a heavy load of fruit. When this happens, as much as 25 percent of the production may be lost. To increase narrow angles, use a wire, stick or weight to tem porarily hold down the limb until the tree has stiffened. This usually takes about a year, after which the spreader can be removed. Prune a two-year-old apple tree so as to save an additional four limbs around the leader about two DON'T BE SLOW Call Now To Place Your CLASSIFIED AD Ph: 717-394-3047 or 717-626-1164 feet above the first set. This will give a total of 7 or 8 permanent branches—enough to produce ample fruit if the tree is properly maintained. Again, make sure no branches directly overlap those underneath. And save a central leader which will be cut back about two feet above the second set of limbs. This gives about a 6-foot tree. As the tree grows, keep in mind a maximum height for it to reach. This could be anywhere from 9 or 10 feet up to 12 or 14, depending on the variety, because some are more vigorous than others. “Once the height is reached, cut off everything that grows higher,” Walker says. “After all, you don’t want to spend a lot of time clim bing up and down ladders in order to pick fruit.” Keeping the tree close to the ground will make it easier to provide the kind of care necessary to produce high quality fruit. “If you fail to tram the tree when it’s young,” he concludes, “you’ll spend the rest of your life pruning it, and have fruit that may be 20 to 30 feet off the ground. ’ ’ WM
