Hi

The apple tree in my garden gave a good crop this year, but it's
spreading
out a bit too much. I reckon several branches could do with cutting back
by
between 1 & 3 feet. Is it as simple as just chopping the branches back
to
where I want, or is there a particular part of the branch one should
chop?

Thanks
