Hi, I would like some basic advice after giving you some very basic
info:-) I have been asked to prune an apple tree and a plum tree. I
have seen neither yet. All I have been told so far is that last year
the plum tree cropped very well, but the fruit was too high reach. I
am reasonably happy with the apple tree. However, should I be trying
to prune the plum in such a way that it lets the branches droop under
the weight ( and risk breakage) or prune it to enable ladder access as
it is growing against a wall? We are in SE Scotland. Basically, how
and when. Hard, I know, from this basic description, but all advice
would be gratefully received.
Thanks, Johnny
