Pruning my Peach Trees - Time is now!

Pruning fruit trees is generally done when they are in dormancy like in the winter.  The leaves have fallen, so it is time to trim these.  There are multiple cuts you can make.  You can cut off entire branches if they are problem branches.  For instance if they are growing into the center of the tree.  You can also just tip a branch if you want to force it to split, which will give you more new growth the coming season.  My trees were bought on discount and were the last couple available from where I bought them.  They were already funky shaped, but with some love and care over the next few years I hope to see them get shaped slowly over time into trees that can grow me tons of great fruit.  Our family love peaches.  So I am very excited for our own home grown peaches.
