If you are interested in details, this should cover your question nicely. It took me 20 minutes to find it as my old link didn't take me there.

This would certainly apply to Honeycrisp.

Here is a link that might be useful: 1,2,3

harvestman - thanks for taking the time to find that article. I really appeciate it. If I'm reading correctly, it sounds like trim back to the outside of the bulged area for more fruit or remove the bulged area if you have weaker wood and want less fruit. Did I read that correctly?

As long as you understand that he's suggesting sustaining equal parts 1,2 and 3 year wood as an ongoing spur renewal method.

thanks
