Most people know about winter pruning, but summer pruning gets a very different response from the tree. In this video, master orchardist Orin Martin demonstrates how summer pruning of apple trees greatly speeds up the development of fruit buds which means you get sweet and tasty apples sooner!

  • In ancient times (1973) I summer pruned for $2.25 per hour in Eastern Washington. Mostly, I was removing the water sprouts that came off of the trunk and inner part of the trees. That vigorous growth took energy, and shaded the tree--reducing ripening the fruit. As he has pointed out here, If you remove that growth in the summer, it tends to grow back less than if you prune it off in the winter. Therefore, a copecetic way to prune a tree is to first go after the dead wood, then the suckers, and the water sprouts--and then you can see what the tree needs--and proceed as he has explained very well here.

    • I believe that in summer tree will use photosynthesis to store and produce energy in the form of roots shoots etc development. Summer pruning after branches full growth will reduce the chances of physical growth. I believe winter pruning is wiser.

    • @@mdislam6381 That is the reason behind pruning not every branch but only weak one and water shoots etc. As explained here, let other branches, vigorous ones, stay the way they are and leave them for winter pruning.

  • You can air layer those suckers and branches, and have a dwarf or semi dwarf rootstalk, and if it has fire blight protectant and cold resistance plus vigorous growth, you have a much desired rootstalk, there called precious. You can sell them and you can graft your own wanted fruit on it. You prune them in late fall and you can sell the scion wood from a much desired tree. In a colder environment where winter starts in late Sept, or Oct, you must summer prune late in summer.

  • thank you heaps for this easy to follow video! My uncle took me with him on his "pruning-tour" when I was a child and I've pruned all my trees ever since. Didn't think I could learn much, but I was very wrong ;) Due to MASSES of apples on the winter-apple-trees during summer pruning time I usually prune after strong frost time (March here in Austria) and then take the branches back a bit during late flower/early fruit season. It works well with the old trees (which are London Pepping and Maschansker), but I'm a bit lost with my Kronprinz-Rudolf (Jonathan) tree. would it be ok to prune it now,whilst bearing fruit still (it starts bleeding when cutting earlier). Thanks, Gabriele

I have trained all my fruit trees except my pear to an open center. My plum tree seems to have the most vigorous growth, I want to slow it down and force fruit buds so this sounds like the way to do it. Do you cut off the new fruits before winter or leave them. If you cut them where do you make the cut, or do you just pick off the small immature fruit at its stem?

  • Thank you so much for showing this so brilliantly clearly!! Two questions: Have you already picked all the fruit from this tree? It’s early August and here in UK my (so far) badly cared for apple and pear tree are covered in heavy fruit. I’m propping up and supporting overly heavy branches all over the place! Should I just remove the fruit now, before any damage is done?

  • Thank you for freeze framing the video and annotating the specific anatomy of the tree that is being referenced. This really helps . I know it take a lot of extra time but it really makes this a teaching reference,

  • Great tutorial...thank you! Wondering whether it's acceptable to let a bud develop into October if you're on a desert 9A where October highs can easily be in the 80s? (High 70s in November Anna apple) Also, do these techniques also apply to a pear tree? (Tennesoui)
