When to start pruning plum trees
How to prune plum trees - and how not to prune plum trees
well ladies and gentlemen I'll now bring
up brought you two to plum trees in the
garden very similar off the type of
fruit they are one is proven wrong way
and the other a spoon very well indeed
won't we will be very poufy and the
other one will be plenty of good food
what's going wrong there someone moved
in with a chainsaw and just without any
discretion just cut with a chainsaw and
say ride the branches now the tree
coated sword to sell that what they
forget trees will communicate but they
must get the right message here the
wrong message is giving big wounds are
made at wrong angles without improving
the tree structure the tree will react
by throwing out masses of shoots again
taking the light away from the center
and not improving therefore at all the
quality of the fruit or the life of the
tree itself
I will now bring you to the tree which
is right now if we look at this tree
here no yes the main structure thick
branch here thick branch there well
furnished with thin wood fruit close
best on two and three year old food if
you can do a tree structure where there
is two to three year old wood on the
outside and two to three year old wood
without big bits of wood on the top and
the light can go right through it then
that is the way how to restructure
you neglected is there anything else to
be done to this tree no it will have
masses of flowers the bees will come the
one the pollen of the one country will
go to the flowers of the other and so
that they will be good cross-pollination
and all being now will be beautiful
thank you for watching
