| Summer pruning
* Works well in combination with
dormant pruning
* Open up the tree to allow light

Pruning Response
Varies with Tree
| Different varieties/crops grow
differently
* Spur types in apples
| Vigor level of the tree
* Age of the tree
* Rootstock
* Fertility/irrigation/soil constraints
| Small fruited vs. large fruited crops
