NEWARK, Del. 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-

ches, which will become per
manent fruit bearing limbs.
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.

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. ’ ’
