- In this video I tackle the winter pruning of our cordon apples and pears. This sort of pruning is applicable to the restricted forms (cordons, espaliers, etc.) of the pome fruits (apples, pears, etc.). First I talk about the general aim of winter pruning then give various examples of where I am cutting and why.
Hi Jonny,I’ve just found your channel & as we have several oblique cordon heritage apple trees which we planted about 5 years ago I thought that was a very helpful video,we are always a bit apprehensive when we prune out trees but that’s given us confidence to do the job, we don’t prune enough really,happy gardening & let’s hope for plenty of fruit in the coming years.
Hi Jonny, Hope you are well. I’ve been watching your winter pruning videos again, which I’m finding incredibly helpful, so thanks very much again for taking the time to make them. I’ve now done all my winter pruning following all your advice, but I wondered how best to encourage a top espalier tier to put on more growth? On my 2-tier espallier apple, the bottom tier has reached almost it’s full length now, but the top one is only about half that. I am sure it will put on more growth in the summer, but if it doesn’t I wondered what I could do?
Hi Jonny, Hope you are well. These are some of the best videos I have seen on espalier pruning, so thank you very much for all your efforts. These fruit trees look amazing! Are they in your garden, or is this a garden open to the public? I have a few espalier apple trees that I have been growing in my small London garden and as I am almost a complete novice I have been trying to learn as much as possible from your excellent advice as well as a range of gardening books. The books are rather confusing, as no tree grows in quite the same way! I am still not sure about exactly when to prune the lateral ends (i.e the ends of my main horizontals- do I do this in winter or summer? - or when to prune the main central branch of the trees in order to create a further horizontal arm? Apologise if I haven't made myself clear. Many thanks. All best wishes Tim

Доброго здоровья Джонни ..для меня очень познавательно искал именно такую формировку и правило обрезки...спасибо настоящий мастер !
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Jonny for such informative, concise tutorial. I was looking for something similar on CZcams for the past couple of years and this is by far the best one out there! Love it!!!
Perfect!
Very informative Jonny thanks! Can you give be some rough measurements/distances between your apple and pear cordon trees please. I’m looking at creating a small 4 x 1 metre strip and want to maximise planting
Wait to see more in the summer prune great set up looking forward to seeing more 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for that, I still haven't pruned my pear tree!
