apple tree in flower...

[misspollysdolly]

...and I have this vague feeling that I should be pruning it...?! Is that right?

It's only a little one - bought in a pot about 20 months ago, and this is the second spring since we planted it, but it's got loads of blossom on it. What should I be pruning off - if anything - and where from/to...?!

Ta ducks!

i don't think you should do anything when teh blossom is on it, you won't get any apples.

there is a thing called 'thinning' where you pick off some ofthe little fruits so that the ones left have moer room to grow, but of course you haven't got to that stage yet.

rhs website is usually good on what you should be doing.

noooo, don't prune those flowers, unless you don't want any apples!

Prune between autumn and spring
