If a nice selection of branches are arising around the clockface about the height you wish to cut back to then select 3or 4 well placed branches. Where a tree has plenty of feathering ie Apples Ellisons Orange, Adams Pearmain you may be able to make use of the branching.

On trees with occasional feathering remove any lower side branches – they are often in the wrong place or if left would make an unbalanced tree. This will be job done for now on unfeathered varieties ie Apple Blenheim Orange ![]() Whether a variety is feathered or unfeathered is explained when ‘Larger image’ for the variety in the Catalogue is clicked.Īssuming the tree has reached the required height reduce it to just above the required clear stem height cutting to just above a bud.
