When to prune?

  • Best done in late winter or early spring, before the sap starts flowing.

How to prune?

  1. Remove damaged or crossing branches to improve airflow.
  2. Cut back the main branches to promote strong growth.
  3. Maintain a central leader for an open, well-structured tree.

💡 Tip: Avoid over-pruning – young trees need energy to grow!
