I've been watching a number of pruning instruction videos for my peach tree. Most talk only about the platform and taking the branches that rub, acute angles, and reducing the foliage and opening the middle. This the first one I've seen that answered my questions. I now have an understanding of cutting technique, precisely where to cut and why, just so much information that I am delighted to have found it. This video is terrific.

Glad the video was helpful. Peach trees are different from all other fruit trees and require their own pruning technique. Here's a video where Orin shows how a peach tree grows its fruit buds and how to prune accordingly. kzread.info/dash/bejne/en11qc5qYLXccbQ.html
Orin is the greatest of all time, a true horticultural master! I have received many lessons on pruning from him at the Chadwick garden and CASFS, but since I graduated i’ve been missing his witty wisdom. I was so happy to find him here! You guys should do a whole Orin series, this man needs his own documentary with the amount of gardening wisdom he holds ❤

My approach to pruning, while generally similar to your own, varies in a couple of ways. The techniques I employ have been applied to fruit trees that were at least 20 years old when I bought my place on Oregon's south coast 48 years ago. So the phrase, 'tried and true', most certainly applies. Because I have standard apple, plum, and Asian pear trees, their tendency to produce vigorous growth is borne out every year, with new growth anywhere from 18" to over 36". So it is imperative to cut way back, leaving anywhere from 3 to 5 leaf buds, otherwise the branches would become too whippy and incapable of supporting fruit, as you have pointed out. The direction which these buds face is typically outward so the center of the trees are open to sun and air movement. Where I deviate from your approach is where I make the cut. I gently slide my pruner down just above the bud I am about to cut until the bud itself stops further progress, at which point I snip. I know you spoke of dieback, but I have only seen that occur less than 1% of the time. When you leave a stub, it will die off and eventually rot-- a situation that doesn't benefit the tree. As a remedy, if you go back later to snip off those dead stubs, you are then pruning that one branch twice. On my large trees where I have made close to a thousand cuts on one, that is too labor intensive and, I have found, unnecessary, for nothing is gained. The other difference is in the angle at which you make your cut. The greater the angle, the more surface area needs to go through the healing process. On a tree with several hundred cuts, this amounts to a great deal of energy that the tree expends in recovery. While I am cognizant of not leaving a flat surface upon which moisture can cling, most of the branches grow at such an angle that a perpendicular cut is as capable of shedding water as your steeply angled ones. Also it will heal in a year's time. Angled cuts definitely need to be employed if the situation provides no alternative. Pruning techniques widely vary among orchardists. There are some constants, but the purpose of my contribution here is to show that other approaches have also been successfully taken. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Gary - thanks for a through description of your pruning methods. After nearly 50 years of pruning the same trees, it's clear you have developed a pruning system that works well for your trees and you. You also make the case that there are variations on basic pruning methods that will produce healthy trees and a lot of good fruit. Here's a video on summer pruning of apple trees. If yer interested, give a look and see how it compares with your summer pruning: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a52jqcWlZ8qul8Y.html Thanks for your comments and here's wishing you continued success with your orchard!

Right before the 15:35 time mark I believe you said " shortening cuts in 2 year old wood ( or older ) stops the growth of that lateral " and redirects the growth to a one year old secondary lateral lower down from the shortening cut. I have noticed that phenomenon but didn't realize the reasoning that such a cut stopped the growth of the branch of 2 year old wood. Per your lesson at the 15:35 I understand what I observed
This is an outstanding presentation. A great tutorial on apple pruning, clear and understandable.

Wow, thank you!
I love this guy and these videos
Oh man, you are very comfortable with cutting and pruning, something I have to learn. Whenever I cut, I feel like that tree is going to die and that is why I only cut a tiny piece just for the sake of pruning:). Thanks for sharing this great video!

It can be scary making your first pruning cuts. Seems like you're gonna harm the tree. But trees left unpruned are often unhealthy and produce poor fruit. Proper pruning makes for a strong, healthy tree with lots of tasty fruit.
I've been waiting for a video this comprehensive and easy to follow. Best video I've seen on the topic by far!

My family were orchardists and each year I sweat, have anxiety, and stress when I must prune my trees. This is a good video instruction. I also love his UFW hat.

Immediately I saw the bat hat and realized he was a 1%er. Anyone who thinks like me has to be. Right? Excellent! Reading the pruning book for decades never gave me a lab demonstration.

Great the the video was helpful. BTW...the "bat" is actually an Aztec eagle found on the logo of the United Farm Workers, which is what the hat represents. But bats are very cool. Good luck with your trees.

Yes, we're kind weather whimps on the central coast of California. Never hot and never cold. Knowing bud types, age of wood, how tree will respond to pruning...they all help to make your trees strong, healthy, and productive. Below is a link to several dozen more fruit tree care videos. Scroll down to the section called: “Getting Started with Fruit Trees Organically”: agroecology.ucsc.edu/resources/instructional-videos.html Don't miss Orin Martin's award winning book, "Fruit Trees for Every Garden: An Organic Approach to Growing Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Citrus, and More".

2:43 That depends on the species, right? Peach produces fruit buds in 1 year old wood if I'm not mistaken? Loving your videos, you explain the mechanisms of the tree, not just what to do. I'm the kind of person who needs to understand how things work, I can't just follow instructions blindly

The techniques in this video apply to all apple and pear trees and most stone fruit. But, as you say, peaches only fruit on 1 year old wood and the bud only fruits 1 time. Here's a video on peach tree pruning that covers the peach's unique fruiting process and how to prune the tree to accommodate that fruiting process: kzread.info/dash/bejne/en11qc5qYLXccbQ.html Here's a link to a long list of tree care videos by Orin.
