I am trying to invasion what the trees look like assuming that they are trained
to the vertical or French axe. My suggestion would be to prune the higher big
limbs (>50% the diameter of the leader) no more than two per year leaving 4 to
5 perminent ones spread across the trunk and weighing down
Yes, it is relatively high density, Spencer and Honeycrisp on M26 at 5 X15.
The limbs average about 2" in diameter and the leader is around 3". Some of
the trees have 2-3 of these large limbs. When I pruned them in 2014 and pruned
out the highest big limb I often got a vigorous upright shoot
Hi Art,
It’s hard to make a recommendation without seeing what you are talking about .
Assuming this is a high density planting and you like where the branch is
placed you can make a “dutch” or bevel cut to renew and weaken the branch. If
you have to choose between the two the higher limb wo

Enough of the depressing stuff. If you have some trees that have developed
some overly large limbs (>50% of the diameter where it joins the leader) in
the bottom of the tree should you prune out the highest large limb or the
lowest large limb, not wanting to prune them all out for fear of over

Remember Meryl Streep said she would likely die because of Alar and it was
probably “too late for her”? ;-)
It will be entertaining to hear the same nonsense once again.

Maybe this will all go away with Spring as the snow melts on the Artic? ;-)

Didn't take long ,did it? Just wait till Hollywood and other "experts" get
wind of this. Like I said before, remember Alar!
And I just ran into a Facebook petition against arctic apples. They sound very
scary and evil from the headline. I decided I didn't have the energy to engage
