Pruning and me don't always mix. I am a cut back if it is in the way or diseased kinda girl, and then leave them pretty much alone. On the allotment we have 2 apple trees, and I have another one in the garden. They are all covered in apples, but not as many this year as last. Should I be pruning about now, and if yes, how - in really really simple terms please - and I don't mean with a pair of lopers, I mean where on a branch. I know I am supposed to be producing fruiting spurs ???. Tis all greek to me! :-\
