Trimming fruit trees

Question
Hi Jim. In Northeast Oklahoma - When should I trim fruit trees? (Peach, apple). Thanks, Bob.

Answer
APPLE
Late Winter/Early Spring--- Prune moderately.
Keep main branches well spaced around tree.
Summer--- Prune to encourage good structure growth and support.
PEACH
Late Winter/Early Spring--- Prune for low, ballshaped top at a clean trunk. Vigorously prune one half of previous year磗 growth. Keep center of tree open for good air circulation.
