shape..thanks again

Are the trees *themselves* one year olds?

If so, except for removing damaged or diseased limbs, they're not ready.
Leave as many branches (and hence foliage) as possible to feed the tree.
Keep mulched and weeded. Year three should see the lowest branches removed
*if* necessary. Years four and five get the most pruning -- thinning, to
keep the crown open. Years six and thereafter get none, save (again) to
remove diseased and damaged limbs.

Don't paint pruning cuts. Don't top. If you want easily reached fruit,
plant dwarf cultivars. Standard fruit trees left in natural form are
glorious in full spring bloom, well worth the partial lost harvest.

What kind of fruit trees?

If you prune them the wrong way, you will not get any fruit.
