Well, thanks for all the help.......

Sorry you didn't get an answer ... yet. Sometimes it's a few days before someone who knows about pruning fruit trees comes on and sees it. Plus unanswered questions used to stay on top. Now they go down and can be missed.

I usually go through and bump them to the top and was thinking about doing it to yours, but was going to give it another day. Now that you've bumped it up someone that has some experience will probably see it and answer.

I'm sorry that I missed this!

It's a busy time at work and in the gardens for me.

I remembered some information that I had read on the Aggie Horticulture site. I don't have suitable growing conditions so have no fruit trees, so no real experience to speak from.

Stone fruit like peaches and plums are typically pruned using an open center method If you google 'open center pruning' you will find YouTube videos and demos for this type of pruning. The following link may be helpful.

Good luck and show us your work :-)

Your best bet is to repost the question in the fruit and orchard section. You should get a lot of opinions over there.
