Sapling Apple Tree Pruning


Question
We have 3 Mt. Fuji trees that are 5-6 ft. tall and were planted from seeds about 16 months ago.
They have grown rather well, but with no limbs -
they just grow tall.  How should I prune them
for proper growth? Also, we live in middle Tennessee.  Any special fertilizing or care required?

Answer
Hi Rod,
Thanx for your question.  Usually, to encourage branching, I would cut off the main growing point.  It usually stimulates the plant to start branching out.  If the plants are 5 or 6 feet tall, cut it off to 4 feet.  It probably won't start branching out until next season.  Ihope this helps.
Tom
