I don't even know how that got there, I was having a conversation with the head nut. Good grief.

Late Winter, during budswell...

While still "building" the tree, prune back to 1-2 bud(s) ABOVE where your intended "keeper chute" is.

*Whack!*

 

[HorseloverFat]

Spring: once extensions have hit 4-6 leaves, and chute is pliable, but not too fragile.



I defoliate... Then wire.





....but if wire is not "your thing"..

That is entirely alright with me.

THEEENNN

The larger Ribes of this duo blew of a table and snapped off the lowest branch.

S'all good!

...

High-summer: I basically start the process again.. pruning back to just above (except this time CAN be 2-4 above, if that is what "feels right") where my "goal" buds are (unless already AT them) only this time, the defoliation will be partial, and come sooner.
