I am using the grow a little fruit tree method in order to keep my fruit trees small and manageable. I am still learning and want to walk you through my thought processes as I go through and do my winter pruning on a few of my trees. Learn your growing zone and season: [ Ссылка ]
The book, Grow a Little Fruit Tree by Ann Ralph is a great book which walks us through how to keep fruit trees small and manageable for the sake of ease of management and space. She also talks about general fruit tree care.

My goal in this video is to share with you some of my beginning steps to growing my trees using this Grow a Little Fruit Tree Method. I am a beginner. I want to walk you through what I am doing, what I am thinking, and show you how it progresses over the season and over the years.
I feel that the grow a little fruit tree method is a great management technique for my husband and I. I am excited to try and shape my trees into a short of fruit tree hedge. It will create a wind break for my back yard in the summertime.
In the book Ann also mentions that our guts are a good basis to go off of, I am not sure if I really believe that, but I will take her word for it and really think about what branches I am cutting.
