TRAINING AND PRUNING FRUIT TREES

There are many ways to train and prune fruit trees – no single method is right for all situations and
needs. One important consideration is tree size. Many people prefer small trees because they are easier to
manage and harvest and more fruit types can be grown in a limited space. Other people prefer large trees
because they provide shade and more fruit. For many backyard gardeners, ease of management and variety of fruits are increasingly are increasingly preferred over shade.
