In this video I show how I go about pinching out our fan trained peach trees, as the first - and perhaps the most important - step in their annual pruning and training. Peaches fruit exclusively on one year old wood so maintaining an established fan involves selecting shoots to grow this year that can be used to replace the current fruiting wood once the last peaches have been harvested. Thinning out excess shoots reduces vegetative growth, allows sunlight to get to the developing fruits, and makes subsequent pruning much easier.
