Winter Apple Tree Pruning

Pruning at this time of year helps to prevent the trees from becoming infected with a disease called fire blight, for which there is no cure. There are many goals that are desired from pruning apple trees. One may want more fruit, better flowering, less disease, or just an overall healthier and aesthetically pleasing tree.
