Most of the trees in my Home Orchard are on G202 rootstock and planted in the fall of 2014. Most are 5 to 7 feet tall now. They should grow into M7 sized trees (12-15 ft) Even though the orchard is beside the house deer visit it regularly so I want to grow them as tall as I can. My plan is to leave the central leader alone and cut off all limbs below 4 1/2 to 5 feet. Will this plan get me the tallest trees possible from this rootstock? Anything wrong with this plan. Comments, suggestions, opinions welcomed.
