Hello,
Could someone please give me some advice about pruning a young apple tree that will grow healthy but not too tall. I don\'t necessarily want abundant fruit like the ones you can see on apple farms with thick trunks and tiny branches. I would like it to grow as naturally as possible. There is another apple tree the same age nearby. I tried to label the attached picture as best I could to make it simple for you to give instructions. I live in the Toronto area. Looking for to your replies ... sbs_rmbac
