Pruning Fruit Trees: An Expert Guide to Creating a Fruit Orchard

Do you know why pruning is not just about cutting off the excess, but a dialogue with the tree? Why do some varieties bear fruit on spurs, while others only on the tips of branches? What happens to the buds after each cut, and how does light determine where the harvest will be and where the empty branches will be?
In this book, the author will share not templates from the internet, but biological laws that fruit trees live by. He explains: how buds, shoots, and crowns are structured, how the tree distributes its energy, ages, and recovers, and why the same pruning can yield different results.
It shows not only thinning and shortening, but also subtle techniques that are often more effective than coarse intervention.
The book teaches you to think, rather than mechanically cut. This is a seasonal guide for the gardener who wants not just a harvest, but a personal order, their own form, and space - competent, beautiful, and long-lived.
