On some of these trees, it seems like I have had to do a lot of
cutting to deal with tight forks in the center of the tree. Any
opinions welcome.
I've had good luck avoiding tight forks using the clothespin training
method. Basically, as the leader sends out branches, you fasten a
clothespin to the leader right above the new branch, to force it to
grow out at close to a right angle. You can see a picture of this
method applied to an apple tree here. Of course, this gets harder to
implement as the tree gets taller.
