Proper tree pruning and training practice is vital for a strong and healthy tree.  If a tree is pruned properly during its early stage, it requires only moderate yearly pruning when it reaches fruit bearing stage. Here are some helpful tips:

 

Avoid tree pruning any more than needed. Some encourage topping older trees to develop young, productive wood. This pruning method however leads to the growth of weak shoots. Also, it exposes the tree to many diseases and harmful insects.

 

Canker diseases like the Cystospora commonly found in peaches, and diseases caused by bacteria, such as the fire blight in pear and apple treas, can develop through improper and unnecessary pruning.

 

Occassional thinning of the tree's branches may be necessary. To prevent the bark from stripping when a branch falls, make an undercut for a large branch. Then get rid of most of the weight with a another cut outside of the undercut.

 

Make another cut outside of the collar and branch bark ridge for you to remove the stub. Avoid making flush cuts, as they remove the natural boundary into your tree, and therefore exposing it to infection.
