There is still time to winter prune apples and pears. But what has to be considered? A summary: http://j.mp/a4jUFN
Did you already prune apples and pears? Start by removing crossing, rubbing, weak, dead, diseased and damaged branches.
Do you have old, overgrown apples and pear trees? They can still be attractive and productive if they are pruned now.
Do you grow apples and pears as cordons? They allow you to grow a useful amount of fruit in even a small garden.
Very late apples should be left on the trees until hard frosts are forecast: These will then ripen in store.
Ripe apples can be harvested now: Hold each fruit lightly in the palm of the hand and gently lift, twist and pull away.
