Summer Pruning for Young Fruit Trees

In this video I'll show you how I prune my fruit trees during the first summer after planting. These are all two year old trees and this first summer pruning is necessary for size control and structure creation specific to backyard orchards with a wide variety of trees in a small space. Ideally I would have pruned these trees in July, but due to a busy fire season in my job as a California firefighter, August was the earliest opportunity I had to summer prune these trees. After pruning I painted newly exposed branches with IV Organics for sun protection. Subscribe to see how I create and maintain this new backyard orchard.
