I pruned my apple tree in December and quite heavily overpruned it - as a result the remaining trunks are growing away quite a lot, though there is not much sideways branch growth (or side branches!). I have heard that to stop this kind of growth you need to prune in August. I would like if possible to get it back to some kind of apple-tree like shape ...

pruning and I think I have the general gist that I need to get it into a
goblet shape - other than that does anyone else have any advice?
