Hi @MACH5 Thank you - wiring the branches I want to keep was my main concern so I can crack on with that straight away. I can then cut away branches I don’t want after leaf fall, as you recommend. Thanks Sergio!👍

Was just about to start wiring some of my keeper branches as per my questions to @MACH5 but stopped as I was surprised to see so many new shoots / branches growing from last years cut points at the top of each tree in the clump. Some of these tops have 5 or 6 shoots growing that are up to about a metre long! Obviously I’m not going to want all of these so should I cut them off now? Thinking about unwanted swelling appearing; if I cut them now, will the wounds heal quicker as the tops of the trees are still growing strong and pulling sap and wondering if this will help close the wounds? Or do I just leave until early autumn/fall?
