For plenty of delicious fruit, be sure to prune fruit trees

This undated photo shows part of an apple branch being pruned. Apples bear fruit on long-lived, stubby spurs, but even these must be pruned eventually to stimulate younger, new spurs and keep them from overcrowding. Hint: after pruning what could be diseased limbs or branches, rise the pruning shears in alcohol to prevent the spread of disease. (Lee Reich via AP)
