Hello while we are on the subject of fruit trees - I can't descide wether to
leave my ?5 year old apple and pear trees to grow as they wish or to prune.
What are you thoughts and experiences on leaving crop trees alone?
And if I try pruning how do I tell if it is spur or tip forming? I have been
reading about spur and renewal pruning but don't want to do more harm than
good!

Thanks
