Just because he's running a nursery, and has a busy
webpage, DOES NOT mean he know what is "right". I've read
a lot of bad suggestions on DAVE'S page. Sounds like Bill
is running his mouth too. (so am I ...)
It means he's good at marketing.

Severly pruning a tree, repeatedly, will lower the
production, and be LOTS of extra work.

if that were true, espailering wouldn't work... and
espailered fruit trees have been around for centuries because
it *does* work. no, you can't go pruning off all the fruiting
branches, but severe pruning as on that page will allow
production in small areas. yes, it's a lot of work learning
the proper techniques, but if tou want an orchard & only
*have* a tiny yard, it *will* work. you learn what you need to
get the results you want. isn't that how most things in life
work?
