Grafting Fruit Trees | How to SUMMER PRUNE your GRAFTS for quicker tree development

Grafting your fruit trees in the spring and leaving your grafts unattended is not a good idea. Summer pruning of the excess growth and thinning of bad placed branches is a more efficient use of your rootstock resources. In this video, I show how to prune your grafts in the summer, using basic pruning techniques. Managing late grafts, so they have a chance to grow when competing with the more developed ones, is also covered. Table of contents 00:00 – Intro 1. Reasons to summer prune a grafted tree – 0:55 2.
