Nicely done. I wish I watched this video, before I pruned my trees this year.

Could you make a video on how to prune a spur fruiting apple vs a tip bearing apple?

Hi Nik 👋. Yes sir!

If I’m understanding correctly… Tip bearing varieties produce on tips AND spurs…. but spur varieties ONLY produce on spurs. Correct?

Yes, that is correct

I have a Pink Lady tree. The last 3 or 4 years it has been developing spurs but they do not produce any flowers so far. The same goes for the tips. I left several tips on the tree the last two years and I am not even joking, only one produced flowers each year. What is going on and what should I do? If it happens again next year I am grafting it over to other varieties and trying my luck with that.

Hello 👋! How old is the rootstock? Or what is the pink lady grafted on?

@@growtolearn4545 It is on M111. The tree has been in the ground for 5 years and I am guessing when I bought it at Lowes it was already 2 years old.

I have a few apple trees, two are about 12 years old and they just don't make blossom, well this year one had one flower and the other had 3 flowers. The stunted tree of the same variety has loads of fruit every year, so the problem is not location or pollination etc. the two that don't produce have healthy dark green leaves, I have carefully pruned them to create space for air and light, but as you can imagine I am flummoxed. everytime I google for help all I get is the same stuff which assumes the tree is too young or not getting pollinated or frost damaged etc. I would be so grateful if you could give me some idea what might be going on and how to fix it? One tree is a winter Gem and the other a winter wonder, these are newish British varieties. I can't remember the root stock, but the trees are about 8 feet tall. Please please help me or point me in the right direction. I am going to watch as many of your other videos now but if you could reply I would be so grateful. Thank you. I am in the UK

Hello there! Well, if your tree is not growing in complete shade and you do proper pruning. Maybe you can try tipping all your new growth this summer when the shoots reach at least 12 inches towards the end of June. And also pull down some vertical branches more in a horizontal position this will cause the tree to put on more fruiting wood for next year. Horizontal branches produces more fruiting spurs.

@@growtolearn4545 thank you, very much, do you mean pin some of the branches down to a horizontal position with string or something? And does tipping mean taking of a third of new growth of a shoot? Thank you again.
