The FIRST thing you should always do is disinfect your pruning shears! Infecting newly cut branches with fungal diseases such as Cytospora or bacterial infections such as Fire Blight in Rosacea species would be a shame. Always, ALWAYS disinfect prior to pruning and between trees. I love that you brought it up 4 minutes in, but I'd make a point of it right up front.
Also, while the isopropyl alcohol works well, Lysol Brand disinfectant spray is a terrific way to disinfect. You can't spill it and it takes lots less time to clean the tools, so it's easy to keep the tools disinfected.
Pruning young fruit trees is one of my favorite things to do -- besides ornamental pruning like espalier and Japanese maples.

This video is exactly what I needed. We recently moved into a home in La Verne, California, that has a small orchard of fruit trees in yhe back yard. Oh! and 3 others in the front yard. and for the past week I've been dreading the pruning I would have to do. I love gardening, but know very little. Watching this video show me exactly what I need to look for and do. Thank you Thank you.
I have 18 trees that need pruning. Its a whole lot of work for me, but I'm looking forward for the blessings it will give me.
On another note, I also have to plan on what to do with the dragon fruit plants. Can you give me any suggestions on how to care for them? Thank you. :)

I like all you videos. is the first time i saw your mom's dog. Poor dog.
You always said is too hot in summer more than 100, imagine in summer with a doble coat outside.
I rescued a dog last year, but my dog leaves inside.
In summer we turn on the a. c.
Because if I feel hot or cold my baby Sparky feels it too. He is really smart, yes he destroyed few things, but he learned, and stop breaking everything.
Is my opinion.

Wouldnt composting diseased branches be fine? Composting should kill anything harmful as it heats up from the composting process. Thats why you can compost moldy fruit.
I guess its better safe than sorry, and Browns in compost generally arent hard to find so I guess it wouldnt be worth it anyway lol

great video thanks, I've been reading and watching videos on this for a couple years learning to maintain 5 fruit trees that came with our house and were poorly topped before we got here. this video is a perfect summary of the best practices to get started.

Very, very helpful! Thank you! Gotta find my pruning tools and get working on my orchard.
Can I ask you why my plum trees are not producing any fruits? I have two varieties and they are growing next to each other. They are about 6-7 years!
