Yes you can indeed prune apples after growth begins.

I dutifully performed my dormant pruning however, some of the buds I

they are leafing out/blooming I see where I made mistakes.

I am training these dwarf trees as oblique cordons, so I hate to leave
longish laterals if they are not producing fruit.

Is it OK to prune these laterals back 6-8 inches or so now?

Thanks!
