Completely random, I know. I've got three espaliered apple trees that I planted two Springs ago. Not exactly sure of the age but they're mature enough to bear fruit and have a decent shape on the trellis. I did a hard "architectural" pruning in the dormant season but having avoiding pruning over the Summer months because of conflicting advice from books and the interwebs--- some recommend just pruning during the dormant season; others advise to constantly keep shoots to trimmed (a la bonsai). My trees look a bit over grown these days. So, do I cut now or later? Keep up the pruning over the Summer months or just stick to the dormant season. Thanks in advance.
