Step 3: Water Sprouts

In this video we will discuss the need to remove and/or tip back water sprouts in your fruit trees. This will allow you to see what need to be pruned next and prevent the water sprouts from over growing and shading out the spurs on the interior of the tree.

    yeah whoever trimmed the pears and apples here created about 10 billion water sprouts and I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. will the ones along the top eventually shade the trees so bad that they won't be able to function?

    Yes! The water sprouts will definitely shade out the older wood where the Spurs are found. There's no way to prune a pear tree aggressively without it responding with a lot of new water sprouts. It's just part of the process. You just have to accept that every year you will have to thin out most of the water sprouts to make room for the good fruiting wood to produce.
