Pruning is an essential task for keeping fruit trees healthy and productive for years and years. Leaving a fruit tree unpruned can lead to disease, tangled growth, and lack of fruit. In this lesson, Farmer Rishi guides you through detailed steps for pruning WINTER DORMANT (deciduous) fruit trees such as apples, plums, peaches, apricots, persimmons, mulberries, figs, pomegranates and more.

BIG THANKS to Tom Spelman of Dave Wilson Nursery for his workshops on Tree Pruning where I learned alot of what I show here.

After watching this lesson, you should understand:

- What tools you need to prune a fruit tree
- the two primary types of pruning cuts: heading and thinning
- how to prevent damage to a tree when pruning
- what the goals of fruit tree pruning are
- how to prune a deciduous fruit tree
