Especially cherry trees, but like Rav said it really increases you production with many varieties. I really enjoy pruning fruit trees. You prune for production not looks. Definitely a learning curve when you first start but comes easier every year. Blueberries and peach trees require hard pruning as they tend to over produce a lot and if you don't prune heavy or don't thin out, as I often do during the summer, you will get lots of fruit but all very small. My main problem over the last several years is lack of pollinators. Seems I don't get as many bees as I used to 12 to 15 years ago and we lately seem to get rainy wet weather while they are in bloom which bees refuse to work in. The damn winter moths have been a real pest the last 2 years as they get in the bud so early I have missed them. P.
