Prune Apple Trees the RIGHT Way (Avoid These Mistakes!)

Is your apple tree struggling to produce fruit? Proper pruning can make all the difference! In this video, we’ll show you how to revive your apple tree by removing dead or overcrowded branches, improving airflow, and directing the tree’s energy toward fruit production. We’ll also walk you through the essential tools you need for effective pruning and how to use them correctly. Plus, we’ll demonstrate the three essential pruning cuts—thinning cuts to remove entire branches for better airflow, heading cuts to encourage bushier growth and more fruiting sites, and bench cuts to control height and shape your tree for a more open canopy. Avoid common mistakes and learn simple techniques to shape your tree for better health and bigger harvests. Whether your tree is damaged, neglected, or just not thriving, these tips will help you bring it back to life. Watch now and give your apple tree the care it needs! 🍏✂️

Here are some links for the tools or similar tools to the ones we use when we prune our trees. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

We used this bypass Pruner https://amzn.to/3Dl0CNn It's a very good quality pruner for the price but there are pruners from brands like Gardena that are of amazing quality but more expensive https://amzn.to/4kmsNMH

We also used this foldable pruning saw that has proved to be very useful again and again. https://amzn.to/43lrbMY This is again a mid range but high quality product but if looking for something premium check this https://amzn.to/4i1HLWF from Gardena.

Finally the loppes we use are similar to these ones https://amzn.to/4btn4jT but what we have used is not on sale anymore.
