just planted new fruit trees in garden,
one of the trees has a very long leader branch, is it worth pruning back a little?
in fact would it do them all good to prune back the leaders, as i want them to bush out instead
of growing lanky?
any comments will be app.
thanks langdon :farmer:

What kind of fruit trees? Different species need different pruning.
