How To Prune Young Fruit Trees 

This was very helpful because you explained the "why". It's hard to learn if you don't know why you are supposed to do something. Thank you!!

Best video on RU-vid for pruning. Explained why and went through the drawing, real life, etc. Well done..

Great knowledge and instructional skills, thanks you.

Your explaining skills are very nice.

...VERY helpful...VERY!!!!

Can you make one video of summer apple prunning please

Like it👌👌

Seeing an illustration was way more helpful than seeing people cut actual trees. Thank you!

Great video. Probably the best explanation one I've seen. One more tip I would add is to rinse your pruners in a diluted bleach solution between trees to avoid spreading any disease from one to the other. 🌳

This has got to be in my favorites playlist! I have always wondered about pruning trees and there is a lot of good info here. Also, that's a really good drawing of a tree.

It's much easyer to understand what's the goal explained on 2D, on 3D... it's very hard to me to see it for myself; but now that i've seen the theory in 2D... i think that i'd get the theory, and in case of doubt... i always can comeback to your video to refresh the lesson. Very clear explanation, many thanks. Also, i like your meows; even when you seem to have the same "success" than me with my own cats, that look at me like.. "what are you doing!? don't you see that we're trying to sleep, punk??", that was great heh. >>;-)

I also do a lot of fine pruning and you did a great job to explain the basics of pruning ! 👍 Thanks for making this vlog !

Very well explained, wish I found this before I hacked at my tree

One of the better pruning videos I've watched.

Good explanation. Can you show this again next year, when the branches grown again? So we can see how the branches worked out. I recently made a video about cutting wine vines, but I never tried fruit trees cause they are much more complicated. Maybe I will try it this year after watching your video.

This is the best pruning video I have seen so far. I loved the drawings first. Much easier to see and understand. Will start on my apples tomorrow (winter in New Zealand)

I have searched for hours and hours on your tube trying to understand what you so simply explained in 10 minutes! Thank you for making this video! I am early in my journey and it was intimidating to prune but this gave me confidence!

I started trimming my pear tree today. I finally found your video. Very informative and I also like the fact that you explain why we should cut or keep a branch. Today, I cut only the -sick branches of the tree. Tomorrow i will follow your guidelines! Thank you!

Nicely explained :D

You're an amazing explainer! thank you so much

Really great video. I like the details. Book knowledge and actual work. Keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed. Do you have a video on pruning shrubs?

I’ve seen many pruning videos of so many presenters. Yet, this video is the first one that instead of going crazy with a knife and keep cutting the entire tree into a single stick nude standing on the ground; this lady with cute EU accent first talks about why branches needs to be cut! And she does it with a low ink red pen. She says why that cut needs to take place. 🤙🤙👌👌👌

You are like a surgeon, not my surgeon but a good surgeon! Thanks

I'm watching from Las Vegas! I have 2 Meyer lemon trees in my backyard. In 5 years they are doing OK. But not great. This video is helpful.

This is a surprisingly excellent video explanation.

This is really helpful. The beginning drawings, and then the actual pruning, was very instructional. Thank you.

One of the best to the point video. With no uncesseray jabber at all. Well done from India.

Nicely explained, thank you! Only thing I may have missed is the WHEN. It's the third of september, I have a very small appletree (a bit over 1 meter) and the 10 apples on it are almost ready to harvest. Can I prune afterwards or do I have to wait till next spring?

Das war hoch Interessant liebe Lilly! Danke für´s zeigen! Beste Grüße Sepp

Very nicely explained... Especially the diagram part... Well i belong to a farming family but for the second year i destroyed my fruit trees successfully and now i wached this video... Thanks lady, you could have made a nice school teacher..

I have just now ‘unsaved’ most of the other pruning videos I had kept ! Your combined explanation and demonstrative videography are very clear indeed👏👏👍

I have to confess I haven't finished the video yet, but was there a recommendation for when in the year this pruning should be done? I also didn't go through ALL the comments checking for an answer but I did scan...... if she answers in the video I will come back and edit this comment

Very good presentation. You did a great job explaining the whys and the nuances of how. I feel pretty confident now that I’m not going to mess up my trees.

Really great video. Glad that I found your gardening channel. I'm also in to gardening and greenhouses. Have made videos on building and growing. Looking forward to the next video. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge. Now I at least know where to begin with my plum tree.

Thank you for making the video very informative great illustration love your accent and love your video and love you too thanks again

I heard that it is easier to cut all the branches by half because it promote strong trunk to stop branch snapping during the monsoon season and it will double or triple growth production for the next following year. All these budding tipping are not important.

Thank you. Also watch you videos on what's happening in Austria. Thanks again.

The best ever vedio ,thanks a lot . I have great passion for gardening. I think pruning skill a prerequisite skill for that.

Thank you from Australia, very helpful before I do my first pruning. 👍

Really .....one of the best videos very educational! Thank you so much!

That's amazing girl ! 1 very detailed instructional video.

When is it good to cut cherry tree in spring or autumn?

YOU ARE THE BEST PRUNING TEACHER I HAVE FOUND SO FAR !!! LUV YA... SO I THOUGHT I HAD EXPLAINED THIS VERY DETAILED TO MY WIFE.... WHEN I GOT HOME TODAY I HAD ONE BRANCH STICKING UP. I GUESS MY WIFE THOUGHT ALL THE OTHER BRANCHES WERE COMPETITORS ON MY CHERRY TREE THAT I HAVE BEEN BABYING FOR 5 YEARS........... I AM SURE SHE WILL DO BETTER ON THE PEAR TREE !!!!!!!

Thank you so much the drawing makes it look so much easier, my tree is Victoria plum and growing out of control so I need to prune it. I'm terrified I do something wrong and kill it.

Your doing gardening now !!!!!! What happend to survival Lilly

its a great explenation but too difficult for me. I can see the difference between a coming branche or a coming fruit

Good job and nice concept on fruit trees pruning! Thanks.👏👍🙏

I planted lapins cherry tree semi dwarf in late april in iceland, when should i prune it?? 2 years old. please help

What is the best time of the year to prune? I have planted some trees in June this year, when to do first pruning?

Thank you ! This is the first and best explanation ,why and how , you have to cut them back.

Really good video explaining and drawings helped too! Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the details. What to cut why to cut it and what is going to happen from the cut. Best video I seen yet.

i have watched too many videos on this topic but haven't learned anything but your video was wonderful especially with the theory option which was great thank you very much great job.

The tree is gone now :)

it's easy for me to see how to do it in theory or paper, but in real life, is still confusing.

Those drawings and explanations have been the best I've seen so far. Thank you so much. Hope to get some edible cherries this year on my trees. Great job!

4:00 but if we let the bud growing, does he not become a competitor branch?

I am confused whether you are a processor or engineer in your profession.... Excellent way of explanation and walking through each and ever criteria , design & execution........Thanks for this detailed enough. Good that I could able to come to your channel. Thanks

Thank you Lilly for explaining & demonstrating in such a straight forward way. Very helpful for a beginner.

Thank you for explaining WHY on every step!

Explained in detail, just like in a classroom. Definitely watch this video.

Really helpful video! Thank you so much. Pruning never made sense to me before.

That was so informative!!!! Thank you so much

Excellent video! Thank you. As others have said, thank you for explaining the "why" not just the how. The drawing and then live demonstration was perfect.

I wonder if you have a video of what those trees look like with new growth.

Your pruning technique was wrong. Do more research on where to prune.

You should do a followup video to show us the results of your pruning.

I hate people who plant trees 1 inch to a fence, those trees will grow up!

Are the cherry and plum trees both shaped to a vase shape not a center leader shape?

I am going to grow a lemon tree (dwarf) even tho I live in The Baltic states. ~CHALLENGE~ Grow one or more exotic plants like lemon, lime, oranges, tangerines, etc.

Lilly thank you so much I have watched several you tube videos yours was exceptionally helpful. I would have liked your opinion on when is the best times to prune summer or winter.? I am a first time grower of fruit tress.

This is the best explanation I've seen on how to prune young fruit trees. Thank you!

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful video however, that tree is never going to grow bigger if you take that amount off it each year though. I can understand you taking that amount off the middle but not when it is branching out. Surely rather snippets off the branching out branches?

Thanks dear for valuable information..

Great information and how to presentation. Thank you

Good explanation and teaching Thank you for that

Thanks, great job explaining

As a visual learner this is 1st of last 10 beginning pruning videos that makes solid sense. Tu

WOW incredible. Thanks so much

Very helpful and explained beautifully the best Ive seen to date thank you

This video is awesome! Thank you for the effort! The tree diagram was just what I needed to understand it better. This is one of the best videos on pruning I have seen on RU-vid!

I want the same tool u have.. As the quality is not goodhete

u dont have ideea what is prunning,sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forest management is a lost art in the U S. Most people just let every thing grow and it becomes a jungle.

Thank you. Good info. It is -28 degrees Fahrenheit here Minnesota. Maybe I will wait a few days before trimming my fruit trees. You make me think of Spring.

I just planted 2 cherry and 2 plum trees in April. Leaves are strong and already growing well. Is it ok to prune and shape the tree this soon?

Excellent video and advice! Many thanks.

I'm going to trim my potted citrus trees like this. I bought/planted them with super good soil in March 2021. They grew straight up, healthy, HUGE, big leaves. No flowers/fruit this year. Hope I get flowers/fruit next year. Ty for excellent info! It's September 2021.

Same technique for dwarf fruit trees?

Thank you very much for your time and effort in making this great lesson in pruning, and you explained clearly the reasons and intentions for the cuttings. I learned a lot from your knowledge, and will watch this video again and again to get the technique right. Again, thank you.

This is an amazing video, thank you for shareing. I'm been trying to learn how to trim a tree for forever. I finally have the confidence to try it myself. Thank you.
