UMass Fruit Advisor -- Easy Peach Pruning

The PERFECT pruning video!! Thanks!

Two thumbs up! I notice he left the length on the remaining branches. I am also concerned about branches splitting off the trunk is they are that long. My grandfather used to put braces under the branches, but I discovered the split too late this year.

Will this keep my peaches from splitting most of the time ?I have one lower branch that get's in the way pretty big is that ok to cut?Last question when is best time to cut I live in PA. Thanks if anyone would reply would be appreciated !

This was really instructive. I have a peach tree that dropped all but one peach this year. I'm going to give this a try this fall/winter. Thanks - Eric

Thanks for the great vid.

Thanks, this is definately the shape I am looking for, this will allow for most sun on the peaches.

This is a really effective video.....not very entertaining, but totally effective.......it really made me concentrate on watching exactly what you do.....spoken instructions probably would've distracted my attention from exactly what you were doing. But I had to turn the mute on because I found the music was distracting & I really didn't like the music, anyway. Thank you for sharing this, it's really helpful!!!!

A deep bow from the conductor/trimmer at the end was absolutely called for. Comments would be great but I will watch a couple of times before grabbing up the clippers to finish pruning that I started a couple of weeks ago. Did miss the bow though.

Im planting two peach varieties this weekend in my backyard in east TX. I've read quite a bit about pruning, but only after watching this video do I get the jist of pruning. Thanks!

Does anyone know if this pruning technique can be used on a older tree that has been neglected??
