Apple tree beauty on youtube-go see
As I mentioned, I have just put up 4 video turorials on pruning apple trees, which you can find by going to http://www.youtube.com and putting Fruitwise into the search box. I hope to put up more through 2008 as a teaching resource and to celebrate orchards-why not do the same if you can-it's free.
While wandering round youtube, and of course there is a lot of rubbish, and much schoolboy wanabbee guitar hero bedroom/study material(guilty, your honour), but there is also some really nice material. I particularly commend this splendid orchard video with the reading of a poem 'The old apple tree'. Do yourself a favour and click on the link below and watch it.

Just watched your videos on Youtube for pruning apple trees. Was really informative. However, I am a complete novice who has just bought some 'feathered maidens' which I hope to grow into bush form. Any chance of a video showing the first stages of pruning a young tree rather than a mature tree. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Thanks Peter. I am planning to put some more pruning videos up later. I don't have any feathered maidens but may be planting some in late winter. The key thing is to leave most of the feathers on for the first year to get good growth-it's a mistake to cut them all out. I will hopefully doi this in March. Don't worry, it's OK to do pruning that late. I want to plant some new pears whicj will be fethered matides, hopfully, but I had to promise to clear out the old Bramleys (will explain on video later why they have to come out) first to make some space. cheers.
