¿Cómo podar un almendro?

Bullseye Farms in Woodland kindly lent us one of their veteran pruners to demonstrate the steps used in scaffold selection during the first dormant season of an almond tree. The training style demonstrated here is Standard Pruning: 3-4 main branches, topped at 3 feet with all side branches removed. -- Bullseye Farms in Woodland kindly let us borrow one of their veteran pruners to discuss the steps of scaffold selection during the first dormant season of an almond tree. The training style demonstrated here is Standard Pruning: 3-4 scaffolds, headed at 3 feet with all small side branches removed. The description in Spanish focuses on finding scaffolds that will create a balanced tree when it bears fruit, removing small branches that won't produce much fruit, removing central branches to open up the middle, removing branches that are too close together, and topping the scaffolds at approximately 36 inches.
