Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1\/2 to 3\/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1\/2\" to 5\/8\" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePruning tip\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasic idea for Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter.
