I have added a summary at the end of the document for pruning established fruit trees.

and the last videos show you what NOT to do, which is really helpfull. The Organic Garden & Stephen Hayes shows you how to deal with big old apple tree that have become monsters.

The Gurneys videos give you a good understanding of how to maintain your trees and help realise that pruning does actually help most fruit trees. The Ashridge videos give you an understanding of fruit tree basics for young trees and once you understand the shape you should be creating this will help when you when you come across established trees that have just got out of hand. So where are the video? Well have created a word document with links to each video. Don't just watch a couple then think that is enough, the repetition in the videos helps ingrain the knowledge into your brain. I have selected 17 videos, yep i said 17 and if you manage to watch them all i really think you will feel confident in understanding what to do and what NOT to do when pruning fruit tree. Also these videos are made professional nurserymen with years of experience in most cases. I personally looked at various sources of information in old books and leaflets but i found that videos really gave the best help because you get a chance to see actual trees being pruned in real situations. You may have an old tree that looks like a monster or just bought a new young tree and want to know how to create the best shape for fruit production. It seems that many people want to know how to correctly prune their fruit trees.
