What happens here

This project provides a comprehensive guide on how to prune mature apple trees for rejuvenation and better fruit production, as well as a younger plum tree for proper growth. It emphasizes selecting the right tools for different branch sizes, identifying problematic branches (dead, diseased, crossing, or low-hanging), and properly sealing large cuts to prevent disease and promote healing. The video also highlights the importance of understanding tree biology and pruning timing for desired outcomes (growth vs. fruit reduction).
